Sorry Tina although Russ needs to finish what he started. We need new blood especially one with aRead More accounting background for the upcoming potential fiscal cliff that all the other districts maybe falling off. So it is "Go for the Gold not the Diamond" so "Shine on you Crazy Diamond" we all know your passion and thank you for your past works. Then again......I am not Nostradamus so good luck you might win.

The correct answer would be to boycott the standardized tests. Our sad elected officials have hadRead More years to perform but have not done so. Parents and schools can just say "No." Force a change, don't wait for useless politicians to get around to it.

Kim, would it be possible to have Joe Dowd publish it here on Patch?
John Rennhack May 15, 2013 at 11:52 pm
Shouldn't the local elected officials who barely spend more than a couple weeks in Albany a monthRead More come to the distrcts? If they do not understand the needs of the school districts in their areas, they are not worthy of being elected or re-elected.
Kim Donohue May 13, 2013 at 10:56 am
If anyone is interested in reading the report that I filed with the Northside ans District CouncilRead More of PTA's, you can email me @ kimdonohue122@msn.com. It lists the names of the representatives and what we spoke about. The kids are the best advocates and were extremely impressive. Their names were listed into the record on the senate floor that day.
