Is this article some kind of joke? Out town can afford to buy a toy tank, the elementary schools can afford to create a full time job for the vice-president of council and pay for a Ford F-150 truck for the Super, yet at the high school a teaher has to go begging on line for basic supplies for the children? What is wrong with this scenario?

Maybe I do rant too much about the excess of the administration at both school districts but this is exactly the type of thing that angers my husband and I. With the enormous property taxes all of us pay, why don't we have enough burners for the children? How else are the children being short-changed because of the poor fiscal decisions of both school boards?

When Patch wrote this article it was their intention to show the dedication if a teacher and his love of sharing knowledge. What this article uncovers is far more disturbing and remarkable. We will applaud Mr. Feighan and all teacher like him who make a difference in our childrens' lives.

But we must turn our sights on the BHPRSD and ask why they have teachers begging in the street for basic classroom tools. We must question the administration on where all if the money is being spent that a teacher must beg, FOR THE SIXTH TIME, for teaching supplies. We must ask how many other teachers in Gloucestet Township are doing this. We must ask where us the elected school board and some fiscal sanity.

Answers are now demanded. Mel is correct, maybe the town should help out with the schools and not but a new election year toy. Look around at the for sale signs, foreclosure signs, chewed up roads, boarded up businesses, the crime rate and question why taxes jeep going up and money is disappearing. We are tightening our belts and doing more with less, it's time for the political elite to do the same. Demand answers, do not accept excuses. We are legion. We are watching. We are here.

Exactly, Anonymous; our taxes are through the roof and per-student spending costs in the BHP Regional School District are at about $16,000. Where is the money going? While I emphasize with this teacher and commend him for caring it would have to be a cold day before I would reach into my pocket and pull out anymore money for anything in this township or district. A word of advice for the BHP Regional School District...Get your house in order. As a tax-payer, I'm not asking, I'm demanding and I think that's my right.

Lets point out another huge issue, the BHPRSD and GT teachers have been working without contracts since Juky 2012. Isn't this the job of the respective school boards and their attorney? Ask yourselves, what are the common denominators in both of these failures of elected officials? We know the answer, we want people to discover on their own. Greed, corruption and incompetence are coins of this realm. We are legion. We are watching. We are here.

I agree with the previous comments. Why is this teacher asking for supplies that should be basic in his subject area? How is it that the district isn't supplying these? I'm appalled (and concerned since my son starts Triton next year).

Any wonder how that 10,000 waste on nothing but AIR PR firm we hired ........How much did that help our KIDS .......Seek the truth the answer in front of us all
