Schools should be vigilant when allocating stimulus funds

We're finally getting to see where some of the education stimulus dollars are going to go here in San Juan County.

Budgets will be slashed only if state dollars are slashed. If that happens, the money will be used where its needed to keep schools open and to tach students who are not "at risk"

Keep a close eye on C.C.S.D. As long as we continually hire "old coaches" to be administrators, money will be misspent on ill-conceived priorities. Haven, the principal at N.H.S., is an ex-coach, and ALL he talks about, and supports, is basketball, basketball, basketball. Sooooo......of course any extra money will go into the sports program. Until the board and super realize that academics are more important than whether or not our teams win, C.C.S.D. will continue to fail at making A.Y.P.!
