School Board Election Coming Soon

Well Fall has set in and with it comes elections. I saw Linda Gilch and Ellen Reese out going door to door handing out flyers for the upcoming school board election in yesterday's blazing heat. I just couldn't help but wonder, if only Gilch and Reese would have been willing to work that hard and to represent the parents of this District instead of the political machine, we would have a qualified Superintendent with actual teaching experience, a Curriculum Supervisor Acerba that could do her job without residents paying a firm to come in and do it for her and finally put an end to making up jobs for political friends like Mercado. Instead of doing the right thing these 2 ladies were out in yesterday's sun going door to door justifying their time on the Board and asking for your vote. Don't be fooled, with 8 out of 11 schools receiving failing grades from the state the time for change is now. The children of this District can't afford the "Status Quo" any longer and taxpayers can't afford paying for poor decisions like Bilodeau, Acerba, and Mercado. It is time for change so we can fix this mess and make this District great again.
