There is no one teacher, no one school and no one system that can meet all the complex and diverse needs of each child. But a community united in such a cause can.

I was doing everything imaginable with school and clubs, but I wasn't sleeping or eating.

We just wanted to do something for the school.

Our projected deficit for the June 30, 2007, school year is $2.3-million.

It seems to me that the people involved in making the decisions about school spending are all extremely aware of their obligation to the taxpayers of Monroe. The effort to meet the needs of the student population and to comply with all state and federal laws, while searching for the most cost-effective methods of achieving those goals, is evident.

Can I quit now? Can I come home? ... I'm trapped now, please rescue me.
