Yes, I think the spending should be looked into, but what about the staff? I have children in East Tate and Independence Middle Schools and things are awful for the students. What happened to teachers and principals that cared? I have tried every way I know to get attention on these schools, but nothing will change. The principals may have degrees in education, but they lack child care 101. Something needs to be done about them, but no one sees what is going on. Immediate attention needs to be brought to this matter. We need a way to have an opinion on who is with our children eight hours a day. Why can't we vote on principals. Believe me, if we could vote, Mrs. Adams would be gone and so would Mrs. White. My opinion is that a man should be principal. These two women have no clue!!!!!!!!!!
