The question has been raised on a different post on this blog as to who won the race for school board directors in Mountain View Schools. It is no secret that there was a very hard fought write-in battle for the directors’ positions. What led to such controversy? Is this partially due to the actions (or lack of actions) of certain board members? How is the school doing academically? When the Scranton Times issues a report card for all school districts in the spring, Mountain View is NOT a shining star above all in the county. Why is this? Enquiring minds would like to know. For those of us who are taxpayers in the Mountain View School District who children either currently attend or have attended, we would like to know what is going on.
Please post comments here rather than the previous topic. Thank you.
According to the “Transcript” Wednesday 11/21/2007 edition, the unofficial winners for Mt. View School District are:
Don Twining, Ellen Aherne, John Halupke, Ordie Price and Jay Wescott
The word on the streets is that communication has broken down between the
parents and the board, and between the board and the teachers. Rumors
of the over use of a substitute teachers and hiring of people from out of the
area were also heard. Should the property tax payers of the Mountain View
school district expect the money to stay in the district? Should their taxes
provide jobs for the districts residents? Teaching to numbers not children.
What is that? Inquiring minds would like to know.
