We reported a while back during a story about Metro and how the staff had not heard from their representative on what would happen to them with the bond issue.
Ramos stated then that he would not allow any merger of the school regardless. At that point we got an answer because nothing had been said.
Now Ramos has flipped and will support a merger of the schools because there is a "good plan." It is interesting that the people he is appeasing are the same ones that apparently supported him with money and also his "mentors" Yet the students he is tasked with protecting are the same that will be hurt by the merger. He said during his campaign that he is not a politician and would not become one.
How times change and now he is politicking on the backs of our students. Apparently the Technology Department needs a home and the site that was originally decided upon is too far for them. So now they are going to inconvenience the 70+ students who need a safe environment and who knows where they will end up. So they are lying to the public that the school only serves a minimal amount of students to satisfy the adults.
Once again deals are being made in secret and the public has no information. The teachers are worried and upset that they are being played with. So much for the campaign rhetoric and lack of from sitting members and candidates. Students once again on the losing end.
As we have said it folks, the very few are going to benefit and they don't need help and our neediest will be tossed around like nothing. Hence we wonder why our district is dysfunctional and how the ones that pledged to help are now devouring and have become hypocritical.
Did Ramos say hi to his mistress at Metro?
