  It appears as though as long as the MSD Administration can use children as a shield from their actions they will have supporters. It seems an odd choice that we freeze the funding for education of the children but not the huge salaries, benefits and perks of those that make the bad decisions.
   
  Best,

    Donovan,
  I am not qualified to answer your questions. I said what I had to say.  I think it is wrong, you think it is right.  I won't change your mind and you won't change mine. We disagree and that is ok. The court will sort it out. Until then, it is my opinion that the kids get the short end of the stick. They aren't the ones who vote, who administer funds, spend them, or file lawsuits.

  Seeing that Mr. Hansen is unwilling or unable to answer my question as to why giving millions of extra dollars to MSD has not resulted in better educated children, perhaps you can explain why they are entitled to more money? If adding money worsens the education outcome, would the opposite help it?
   
  Best,

  Realizing that Arnold is merely going to dodge my inquiries by responding to
them with questions, Mr. Falen, perhaps you can answer:

1) Explain to us how eliminating a much-needed, recently passed levy is
going to improve the quality of education here in the Moscow School
District.

or

2) Failing to respond to #1, above, provide example(s) how funds realized
from the 1992 bond and/or 2007 levy were misappropriated.

It is a simple matter of 1 or 2. Either the MSD is not in need of these
funds (1), or the MSD has misappropriated these funds (2).

Tom says that "one drawing card that attracts people to move to a community
is the quality of available education" I know several people that are moving
from Moscow to Genesse for that reason.
