And you think this will “teach the schools a lesson?”

Get real.

Its a long way to fall elections so look for more scare tactics soon
I think they need to cut there pay and benefits first before causing grief for the kids and parents

votes have consequences

anyone who voted “no” can just suck it up from here on in – am kind of enjoying this, to tell you the truth

I haven’t had a raise in 4 years and I pay 60% of my health insurance, so cry me a river. These measures should have been taking place years ago. Were they that stupid as to not be able to see the dire financial crisis the entire world is in? Schools have a tax and spend mentality and they are like a black hole when it comes to our money. They thought people would mindlessly continue to give them all they ask for. Guess what, people have wised up to their wasteful ways, and we aren’t going to just hand over our money anymore, no questions asked!
