We got the parents to come out and we still get criticized. I'm really beside myself — I can't understand that board that basically controls taxes in this town taking that kind of action.

I just can't support seeing any classroom teachers walking out the door. They're our backbone. I'd like to see something where we look at something else -- supplies, after school programs, something. You're going right to the heart with these cuts.

They are playing the politics of revenge. The Board of Finance is trying to get even with us.
