Just reporting the news, Donovan. IFalls, like Moscow, had declining =
enrollments. Do I want to "do this" to the children? I want all =
children to get a great education. At the same time, my taxes are =
insanely high. Why would we want to "do this" to the parents of those =
same children?

Yes Jack,
And the Superintendent John Murdock said, "While people may see on the =
surface no change in the classroom, the support services are going to be =
reduced dramatically," stated at the bottom of the article. It also =
completely drained its reserves. This is how they dealt with budget =
cuts, not with declined enrollment as you suggest.
Why do we want to do this to the children and educators of Moscow School =
District? Not implying that you do, but others would.
