JUST OUR TWO CENTS

Alright, we have seen the many comments about the current Palazzolo issue, Stand for Fort Worth, etc.

We are not sure why Dr. Sutherland does not speak specifically to the  matter during the board meeting and we can think of many reasons.  Let's give some credit that she is posting on her blog even if it's not everything we want but it's there.  We know the board members have pushed her around to stay quiet because they want it all hush hush.  The Palazzolo case is going to trial and more money in the pocket of lawyers.  WE all know with evidence that the board is being lied to and then lying to the public about how the money is being spent.  The thing here is that we have no way to hold them accountable for the money because any audit has to be approved by the board since we have no independent auditor.

So this is where Stand for Fort Worth comes into play.  Yes there are probably issues we don't agree with and it all stems from the transgender policy.  We know that Scribner and Ramos chose to use our students for political points and it may help in some way but it ended up being a disaster because they didn't think it through.  They put our students in danger more now than ever.
But this has opened an opportunity for board members to feel the heat and we need to agree to disagree on certain things and fight our battles well.  It is time to clean house and if this organization has the money and the backing of the public then let's do it.  If we are truly wanting change then let it happen and let's continue to be vigilant about our students.

It's time to end Cronyism, Nepotism, and everything else that has plagued our district.
