“Money? We Had Money?” — Metro School Board
Metro schools supposedly don’t have enough money, and school board members lament the decision of the voters to reject a sales tax increase “for the children”. However, these elected advocates for our children seem to be unaware of federal money that is going unused by Metro schools.
As stated by a director of one of the tutoring companies available with the federal funding:
“I honestly think [MNPS] are micro-managing which providers parents get to choose,” he said. “They don’t have a clue. Many [MNPS officials don’t] even know that children in failing schools had an option to transfer to another school or avail free after-school tutorial services.”
MNPS officials could not be reached for comment.
Another reason to be pleased with my vote against the sales tax increase.

Yeah, and these were the people self-righteously wanting to raise our taxes without apology. Is anyone competent going to run for school board anytime soon?
Some leadership would be nice…not a lot, just some. I’m willing to take baby steps.
