Wonder how the Gates Foundation feels about writing another one of those giant checks?

It's very simple If the County Commisson doesn't give the schools what they wants. The school board will point to that for any and all failures. This ship has sailed. If you disagree with the direction school funding is going your only option is moving out of shelby county. 31 dollars per month per 12 months equal 372. On the bright side property values will be going down.
