Ooooo I could tell you so much about school districts and wasted money. Where I live only about 30 cents of every dollar ever make it to the classrooms. This would set me off on a insiders rant which would not do anything but get my blood pressure up. Here is just one thing I have seen in the past year, 80K awarded from a federal government grant money, that requires 159K in general fund budget to support it. Stupid, just plain stupid.l
