Mr. "Letters?".. uh.. no.

Mr. Strickland makes some great points, as do others here. Times are changing and there is an emerging activism that will force change at the school board.

We know you're stinging from the loss of the tax hike. Be creative, do something different. Stop being afraid of change.

Look at the $74 million dollars paid to Volusia County vendors.. my money says there is some fat there. You have to start somewhere, and you have to actually want to start.

Stop the normal knee jerk reaction and try managing with some humility. Don't put a lot of energy into someone outside of the school board giving insight into what you do.. try to fix the things that defy logic fiscally.

I will part ways with at least one other and NOT lump in the teachers or support staff.. or even the school based management.

All of the accountability should fall on the shoulders of Margaret Smith and the school board members, first and foremost for allowing what is being allowed to happen.
