“The problem is we have voted for almost every school measure they have asked for the last couple of election cycles. The schools are getting no better only woker. There are still teacher shortages and overfilled classrooms. We need the entire school board — especially the superintendents and unions — wiped out if we want any progress. They have failed over and over again especially with budget. We have them all the $$ they asked for and it did nothing. I hope this next presidential admin wipes you guys out for incompetence.”
