The recall group has completely lost the last of the support I had for them. As a teacher and parent of 3 children in the district, I was appalled at their hypocrisy. If its really about the kids, then $774,000 could have been spent on repairs, upgrades, teachers, aides, etc. I have been teaching for 22 years and have learned to ignore most of the political stuff, but this is the first time I have been ANGRY! I can’t believe the gall of these people. Be assured I am telling every parent I can to oppose these people in any way they can.
