This will effect the quality of education public education. Everyone in a school district helps create the learning environment for students.

This is why standing together, united will protect the educational future of our children. Negative attacks will only hold all of us back.

My students can't learn in the classroom if their personal problems get in their way. They need someone to listen to them when no one else is there.

Who will insure A-G requirements are met? Who will review student coursework, support at-risk students, monitor floundering students.  The teachers?? You've got to be kidding! When teachers realize this function will fall on their shoulders, they will join the discussion. School board thinking is short-sighted, indeed. P.S.
