In Your CornerIt was interesting to watch a well known community activist’s tirade at the June 16th School Board meeting against the Superintendent spending $15,000 next year televising those meetings. This individual consumes a great deal of his time monitoring County governments and is usually the first in line to speak at any televised meeting. The $15,000 needed is less than .0001 of the District’s $150 million dollar budget, not including the tens of millions in capital funds and reserves they manage. It should also be pointed out that a major portion of this relatively minor expenditure is for government mandated captioning for hearing impaired viewers. |
