Is it me, or is this article simply people who get paid a lot of many saying, "We didn't know"? Don't we pay you to? Ever hear "expect the worst"? Hire enough teachers to meet the class size (you know, as you are supposed to, under law)...then if you have less kids, and you already budgeted for the teachers, take the best and brightest and train them as upcoming principals. Not rocket science. Why are we, as the taxpayers gettng hit with this fine, we, or our children did not fail, Dr. Smith, Dr. Moll failed. Our school board has failed by continuing to employ these imbeciles, who have not met class sizes three years running, and have our district at a 'C' level. A good leader said, "The buck stops here", those in charge of our schools whine and say, "The buck stops with the state, and the dumb voters". I call upon Govenor Scott to mandate that any school district, rather than be fined, be audited to find out why they cannot meet basic requirements, with part of the cost of the audit to be paid by those responsible.
