Where is the DCSB and superintendants sense of urgency and priorities? Instead of just rolling over and taking the proposed budget cuts they should be out fighting them. They should be wherever two or more people are at whether it’s at a diner or on a street corner convincing them that these budget cuts are bad for our children, very bad. Sure plan for the worse but fight tooth and nail for what’s right and fair until you get there.
If the school board and superintendent are trying to convince the governor and the legislature what they are doing is wrong they are going after the wrong targets. There will be no sweet Marry Lou Hoo to cause their hearts to grow. No they have to go after the people and get them involved and fired up and in the end they might just convince them because, and I admit it rarely happens, they are in the right.
Which makes me wonder why are they waiting to next month to get the community meetings going and why are they just having three? They should be having three a day and if you ask me they should have started the day Rick Scott was elected because they should have seen this coming.
Come on DCSB wake up and fight for our children, do the job you were elected to do.
Until they wake up, the community meetings are scheduled for:
Monday, April 4, Atlantic Coast High School, 9735 R.G. Skinner Parkway
Thursday, April 7, Andrew Jackson High School, 3816 N. Main Str.
Monday, April 11, Ed White High School, 1700 Old Middleburg Road
The meetings are free. School officials ask participants to visit duvalschools.org for a list of its legislative priorities to review.
Has anyone contacted Tony Boselli to see if he can do for our schools what he did for Jaguar ticket sales? I don't think there is anyone in Duval County with the energy, desire, the lesdership skills, and the fortitude, who has a connection to education, that would be willing to lead such a fight. Otherwise, Duval County would have had better schools long long ago. PREPARE FOR THE COMING MASSACRE, chickens of Duval County.
