School Reviews
5 9/1/2016
The 2016 school year began with the elimination of the school library as a school administrative budget decision. The decision was predicated on the School Board support for continuing sports programs.This decision I believe will continue the decline of core education services and a corresponding reduction in quality education outcomes relative to knowledge based graduation skills.
