Flying today from Denver to LA I was reading a local newspaper article about one of the local school districts in the Denver area. It seems they are going through a similar process now as we are in the PISD. The district has evaluated their needs and most in the public are not buying off on the numbers.

One statement made by a parent of a child attending the local elementary school caught my attention. "If you must spend money on education spend it in the classroom where it counts." Based upon what I gathered from the article it appears the performance of the school is average, and most of the parents are upset at the amount of money being spent to be average. I don't know how the schools are funded in Colorado, but it sounds like they have some upset folks.

Guess you could call it reading, writing and spending!
