Board- What Happened to Fiscal Responsibility?

With regard to the boards responsibilities:
How can they even think of offering the the teachers a raise when the schools attorney stated at a board meeting that we would be in a hole for 5-7 million dollars in 2 years due to the rising pension costs. I do not believe that the board is acting responsibly in the best interest of the community and the children. For years we have seen the parkway school outperform stratford rd for years . What has been done about it ? Then we had the debacle with the last superintendent who promoted his math because he wrote a book on it which was a huge conflict. What did the board do about that for years ? They only did something when the board members were afraid of getting voted out. Even then some board members lost. The new members ran a campaign on fiscal responsibility in the last election. What happened to fiscal responsibility? They should of been looking for concessions in this contract . We need more accountability in our board. Hopefully we will have some candidates for the spring election of board members
