There's facts out there that there are two sides to every story. Despite objections from both students and parents, the Spirit Lake, Iowa, School Board has accepted the resignation of high school principal , Jedd Sherman. via KTIV-TV Sioux City

Never criticize your boss about overspending money on frivolous things because the first spending cut to be made will be the overly vocal employee.
A million dollars in cuts to be made...? Not all that surprising to find the district in severe debt due to overspending especially with all the bright shiny new items on display about the school campus. Who's accountable or being held accountable by whom? Some school boards see all this "free money" coming in from local property taxes and figure it'll never run out and sky's the limit on purchasing anything.
We end up losing a bright, creative and assertive principal who suggests maybe the boss's spending is out of hand. Thanks for your courage Mr. Sherman. Hope the students noticed and file it away for future reference.

Drive by and give a honk or wave of support as the students are outside protesting Mr. Sherman's forced resignation today on South Hill Avenue near the school. :)

Thieves and liars, all of them.

I wish the school board had been forced to sign the 'character counts' contract like the kids.

Beth Will is shady.
