Why Schools Need Mental Health Experts

So let me get this straight. The school board (bored) spends $8 million on “magnet” schools and what do they have to show for it now? Nothing….Zip. Most of the magnet money was spent on “things” but most of those “things” are broken, gone, or stored away. All that money has gone down the drain. And who was to blame for that mess? None other then the Concrete Queen herself! So board members are you patting her on the back now? What are you saying to her? Thanks for flushing $8 million? Geez, give me a break! How far does that sand go down that you have your head stuck in?

Now that the newspaper is completely written, directed, and printed in Lynchburg I don’t suppose they will ever have a reporter do any investigating of the squandering of taxpayers money by the district. Maybe the county paper can do something like have a Danville Edition of their paper. It seems they know how to cover meetings.

Have all the axes fallen in the district yet? Probably not, there are still a few more to go. Word has it GW is next on the list. The “blame” scope is zeroing in on the ”G” as the next battlefield for the Queen and her court of merry jesters. With the population down so dramatically at the school it appears some transfers are in order to shore up the middle schools. But the Queens main jester, the GW principal, will most likely be the last one to know or care. Not back from his casual lunch yet I assume. As much as he stays away from the building you could probably move the school and it would be several weeks before he found out. Does he even know what the GW drop out rate is?

Someone needs to be watching the troops. A relative’s child brought home a letter from an elementary principal lately that proves that spell check has been removed from school board computers. Does anyone ever read before they print? I guess it’s hard to take that kind of time when you’re busy printing off church bulletins.

Rumor has it that the golden child Galileo School is set for a big slap of reality. This little private school within a public district has some bad news rumbling its way. More on this later stay tuned.
