Just a few years ago (ahem... Jeb Bush) we had plenty of money and now we are cut to the bone?!? Where is all of the lottery money, land tax money, etc? I really think things should be seriously investigated, since our schools are being sucked dry while the "higher ups" are still riding state cars and eating out on our kids dime. I haven't heard Mr. Paul say anything about the fact that field trip money has been taken away, that teacher are given a pathetic amount of money to run a class of 16 or more on, that teachers are expected to buy ALL supplies (paper, printer ink, crafts, kleenex, soap, etc.) out of their own pockets (aside from the very meager amount mentioned and the great parents that donate), that extra curriculum classes are being shortened or stopped due to lack of funding and teachers. I really think the schools themselves have been cut enough.... maybe Jim Paul and the entire board needs to start driving their own cars, with their own gas, pay for their own license plates, eat on their own dime, and stop expected our children to suffer while the live on as normal!! I would love for Jim Paul to sit in a classroom or 20 or more kids all day every day, never go on a field trip, or do a craft project, or have P.E., Art, Music, no paper, no games or interactive learning tools and see how much he learns and how quickly he gets bored. Leave our schools and our kids alone. They are top rated in this area and should be getting rewarded no cut off at the knees!!!!! I really don’t understand what the issue is with our school board.

They would be given more opportunities and experiences needed, when learning. I think the students would have a much better education being consolidated with another school.
