Our problem is many of our schools are too close together.

I'm raising a question about the legality of the bargaining unit. I think it's fair to ask a question.

I'm pleased the administration offered a balanced budget without massive cuts in programs. We'll have to take a close look at the details, and we'll look forward to public input on the specifics but my initial reaction is that it's been well done.

It's pretty clear in the district there's going to be changes. People are going to have to adapt to changes. It's hard all around. If you didn't have to do any of it, you wouldn't.

I think the task force recommendations are a good step forward.

They're the district champions until somebody knocks them off. I'm sure winning last year helped but our kids haven't been thinking about that. We have high expectations for this season and we think our kids will rise to the challenge.
