You're aware that the ASD is funded mostly at the municipal level, with a budget that has been growing every year despite a stagnant student body, right? This isn't an issue of lack of funding, but rather one of gross mismanagement. They can't even blame maintenance costs, as clearly looking at the last package we voted on, they bond that out anyway. So where are these hundreds of millions of dollars going every year, and why does the school board hold teachers like this hostage while blaming us? Lastly, why are we the voters not demanding answers to the above questions instead of taking the bait and blaming anything or anyone else offered up as scape goat by the ASD and ADN articles like this?
