Why are education administrations and school boards not looking at more creative ways to spend their finite resources, spend the money to upgrade technology to enable high trained employees (associates) to become more efficient and more productive. This should enable some dollars to be cut from administrative areas and put into the classrooms.<BR/><BR/>In addition -- transportation costs are huge. With the rising prices of fuel they are getting higher. I believe our district needs to explore how they can save money in transportation and put the money into high quality programs for the children attending schools closer to home.<BR/><BR/>More money is not always the answer. At some point better use of the resources at hand needs to be thoroughly explored.<BR/><BR/>Thank you --<BR/><BR/>ElizabethAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
