Posted on: Nevada out of ‘race’ for innovation funding

OK, same logic applied to what bouncyhair said. If we break up the school district, having 100,000 kids in each will still result in very large bureaucracies. They should be made into districts of around 20,000. Now, think about the result. We will have 16 to 20 districts, all with school board, a superintendent, and the requisite staffs. How much will that cost. As for maintenance; get rid of the vertical integration, and farm it out to local small business. This will save money. My school has 13 year old carpet that has had 850 kids or more running round on it for that same 13 years. It looks like s#*t! However, we are told we will have to wait another 6 years to replace it. How long does the carpet last in the average house?

Posted on: Rulffes wants more campuses ‘empowered’

Ya, but did Culley teachers get the bonus they were promised? NO. The formula was changed mid stream for awarding it. SSSSSSSOOOOOO, no bonus, or it ended up being less than anyone anticipated. Where did the money set aside go? No one seems to know. This should be investigated by the SUN.

Posted on: Court: Student can't sue over teacher's alleged hitting

Honestly, maybe we need to bang a few more heads. Then kids may straighten up, pay attention in school, and behave. That is their job! Do you really believe this kid anyway.

Posted on: Gibbons suggests $70 million tax break for businesses

honestly, the average unemployment tax paid by businesses is 7 dollars per week. The Gov wants to lower it to 6 per week to save businesses. I don't think saving 52 dollars per year is going to help. Also, those who lose there unemployment benefits will quit spending money, causing more businesses to loose more money, and so on and so forth.

The 12% is the amount the Imagine Schools takes out of the 6500 per pupil the district gives. That is there management fee. Your kids get exactly the amount every other school gets. They are not short changing the school.
