Stop district waste

So the Spokane Public Schools district is looking for an innovator. A trustee of Spokane Community Colleges said, “Someone who realizes that we are at a crisis, and that we can’t keep spending money on a system that is broken.”

Well, that isn’t exactly what all the school district levy publicity information that has been sent (wasting paper) to us says. And the district is spending thousands of dollars for a national search. More waste. They need to look within our local educational institutions. Perhaps like the Ferris teacher whose innovation created a forum, whether biased or not, to teach her students.

I voted for the levy, but I wish your news story had appeared two or more weeks ago.
