Thank you Vanessa and other members of the USD 497 for speaking out.

The problems with funding and bargaining rights begin here.

ALEC Private Schools - Corporate Education Reformers Plot Next Steps at Secretive Meeting http://www.commondreams.org/view/2012/02/02-9

There is a group who sees the billions in school tax dollars eventually coming back into their bank accounts. They love the idea of guaranteed profits for their corporate private schools.

Unfortunately ALEC and a large majority of the republican party got married to the idea that working class blue and white collars make too much money. Talk about living in glass houses.

Right to Work means lower wages and fewer if any benefits..

This is the last person we need on the school board. She is part of the reason we are in this position now and throwing more money at the public education system will do nothing. The whole system needs overhauled.

Don't you know that the only way to solve a problem is to stand back and through money at it and that kids can't learn if their not in a brand new building.

I find the above comments - can't have it, jesse499, and just another bozo - ridiculous.

Sanburn is the right person for this position. I honor her for her work.

There's a great poster that was on busses in San Francisco and in many other places.

Your sarcasm detector is a bit off.

Seems like Mrs. Sanburn hasn't heard about the successes that Charter Schools are having in other parts of the country. If she was one of the Board Members that thinks that because we can get $92.5 Million, we should take it, then maybe she doesn't understand DEBT either. When you are in DEBT you OWE $$$. It doesn't make any difference what the interest rate is, you still OWE $$$. Hard to understand when we don't need to spend that much and we have an 80 acres piece of land on the east side of town near a future industrial park that we are keeping for a rainy day.

Charter schools, on average, do no better than public schools, and in many cases do worse than public schools. And they drain money from public schools to boot. But let's get to the real reason for your post; you are still ticked off that WV was closed. I was too, but I got over it. You should too.
