What happens to those people if the next bond issue fails? Whose jobs get cut, teachers or maintenance? This is a bad business practice Also 2) the five schools in question have for many years been upgraded and had the best tech put into them already. So why tear down the building and put up a new one. What other school district operates like that...None. I already voted no and I hope you do too.Robnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-11845404319274916772021-01-21T21:38:13.228-06:002021-01-21T21:38:13.228-06:00SMSD is again running around with it's hand he...SMSD is again running around with it's hand held out looking for more money claiming it's for the students as they daily shove out dumber and dumber kids too stupid to even write their own name much less fill a form out that someone could read.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
