Some readers may be interested in what occurred in Greece, New York when Stephen L. Walts was superintendent there I googled the subject and found the following information. In addition, there are articles pertaining to his time as superintendent of Prince William County Schools. Also, Please access http://www.voteforboard.com/comments_archive.html

Whether it be creating a culture of negativity and lack of trust, mainstreaming special ed students to cut costs, financial waste and abuses, angering parents over Math Investigations, etc. the picture that emerges of Superintendent Walts is not a positive one.

I will let the reader come to his or her own conclusions.

I am not surprised. I don't believe in the public school system, anywhere, any longer. My kids are all now in private schools; you ask about the money; you pay now or pay later, is my motto.
