What's in the News!!!!!

I find it completely disgusting how the Dade County Public School Board have mismanaged the money that is supposed to be used for our students and for the teachers who put in their hard work, time and effort. Over 130 million dollars have been overspent where has all of this money gone? Where is the 72 million dollars of that 130 million that was promised for teacher and administrative raises? To me the board members and district associates do not care and keep spending frivously on what? What is there to show for it. Nothing absolutely nothing!!!! Since school has begun I have been asked four different times from my sons school to bring in supplies that the school should be supplying. I do not mind buying regular school supplies like crayons, glue, scissors and stuff like that, but when we are asked to bring in paper towels, kleenex, lysol spray, hand soap, hand sanitizer, paper cups, juices, snacks and stuff like that then that makes me angry. Why are we supplying these things and not the budget that is supposed to be there. How many families cannot afford these things. Especially now that the economy is so bad. It is ridicilous. I think it is a good idea although a little silly to bring in soap to Wednesdays meeting, but I do understand the symbolism though. We need answers as to where this money has gone and we deserve it as well. It is not fair that teachers and educational support personel and parents should foot the bill. Why should we have to clean up somone elses mess, when we were not the ones whop made that mess to begin with. If this issue is not taken care of the only people
we will be hurting are our kids, their future and the dedicated teachers who help make our children succed in life.
