Local funding key to students' success

| May 8, 2024 1:00 AM

We must overcome the shortfall in WBCSD. Voting for the levy will do that. If it's for our students there should not be a question as to its necessity. 

Improvement cannot be accomplished without local funding. Idaho funds what they fund. We have to cover the shortfall. There is no way around it. I get so tired of hearing naysayers comment that we have bad grades because we have bad teachers. That's plain old nonsense. Spend some time and go to board meetings and committee meetings. I have been so impressed with the show of intelligence and understanding of how the school system works by almost all the board members. And the interim superintendent Mr. Kren. He's amazing. His knowledge and understanding of what's happening and what needs to happen is incredible. 

I could and would give you much more info but space doesn't allow it. Check out the district website. It's loaded with accurate information. It's all fact, not someone's opinion. Come up with your opinion based on fact.
