At the April 25 Board of
Supervisors public hearing on the proposed 08-09-school budget, one thing was quite evident. Most of the speakers obviously spoke with the idea that they were addressing the right board. But, many of the statements should have been directed to the school board not the Board of Supervisors.
Dozens of speakers wthy apodte.in support yf the budget'complained of low teacher salaries. They missed the boat. The school board sets salary levels, not the Board of Supervisors.
Many speakers complained about photocopiers at the schools, teachers spending hundreds of dollars of their own money for classroom supplies, and the disrepair of buses. Overall, the school board received more funding than they initially requested in the last 12 years. The school board and the superintendent are the sole administrators of the schools and are responsible for all management in the school system. These are problems to be directed to the superintendent and the school hoard, not the Board of Supervisors.
What’s amazing is that some school board members complained of some of these same things. But, who's responsible? They are.
