It's time consuming. The thing that concerns me is that the calendar moves. When all the egos have been gilded and all the politics have been done, we really still have children who need to be educated.

It's a very convenient time to do it. I'd like to remind you again, this is an election year.

It's another example of how local control has been eroded.

There are all kinds of relief. To parents, the definition may be enrollment, but to educational programs there may be different definitions.

Robert has made a conscientious effort to see that we're informed. He really makes an effort to open up everything. He's been a good addition to our team.

I'm hoping as Sonny comes out, and the sun is 110 degrees in the shade, he explains how it works when you take local control away from the school board.

For goodness sake. That's sad.

It's hard to talk about the budget until the Legislature goes home.

It's time for us to get on with it.
