HB1137 – No, School Boards Are Not Just for Creating Policies and Budgets – They Own the Whole Dang Thing!
by Skip
School Boards are responsible for all of it but many school board members just have no clue. I’m betting that 97% of them (or thereabouts) have never read the NH Statutes (RSAs) that the NH Legislature has passed that govern their responsibilities and actions.

Tomorrow is the Day We Find Out How Many People Hate Parents – HB1431

by Skip
At least the Gilford School Board hasn’t gone this far – yet. If so, my entire wardrobe would be made up of orange jumpsuits. Reformatted, emphasis mine: Armed Agents in Texas School District Arrest Concerned Parents in Their Own Homes
Quote of the Day – “When we complained about schools, they said ‘why don’t you get involved?’ … “
Sometimes when you are close to the topic or subject the obvious walks past you in a bright red dress and you fail to notice. Or maybe you do but you are distracted. I just read a comment and felt like that.

Contact Tracing Done Right: Parent Group Creates Database to Track “Equity” and “Diversity” Consultants

The Bonfire of the Insanities
I’m back for my monthly co-hosting gig on Life with Liz on WMN1590 AM, and it’s the bonfire of the insanities episode. Out of control school boards, frolicking with federal funds, the border mess, inflation, shortages, and the fiddlers in DC who are watching ‘Rome’ burn.

Simple, President Asterisk – Go Ask a School Board
by Skip
They’re MASTERS of just sitting there, half-heartedly listening to concerned Parents and voters – and then ignoring them. All you have to do is watch a few videos, Joe, and even you can get the idea – especially since you are having problems.”
