He has a clean slate going forward.<br /><br />I haven't seen where Morrison has done anything that any other educrat hired to be superintendent would have done in the same time frame.<br /><br />Reagrding the bond vote, it wouldn't have mattered whether Morrison was superintendent or not. Many people will generally vote for anything that "is for the children", even though it's a shell game and won't reap any benefits for many years to come - if then. Sometimes it's a huge waste of tax money.<br /><br />Remember 2007? <br /><br />Evidently not.Wiley Coyotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16966764080565903720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020455191286536580.post-87200831445101661002013-11-25T10:33:37.293-05:002013-11-25T10:33:37.293-05:00Anne always says she is fair and balanced, and if ...Anne always says she is fair and balanced, and if you do not agree then read the other person at the observer who covers the school beat.

She was probably the smartest girl in my class that year before she and her family set sail again. U.S. Amish students complete their education by 8th grade. If we're to believe the dire dumps U.S. public education is in, Amish kids probably outperform kids in Finland and Singapore. I find nothing wrong with home schooling. <br /><br />AliciaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020455191286536580.post-68118196218193313462013-11-25T10:10:58.188-05:002013-11-25T10:10:58.188-05:00Ann,

His will be rubber stamped , but they have to wait? Not a great example of leadership by the BOE or Heath. He did get the bonds sold so certainly is doing the work for his vendors and will be paid.
