Although not a fan of animals in captivity often this is the only chance for children to see these magnificent animals and for the parents to explain why these animals need to be saved in the wild. It's a shame that in a town without a worthwhile zoo that this exhibit is closing.

With this one example this article is just turning worker against worker instead of focusing our attention on those in power who are trying to lower our (your) salaries so they can make more in profit.

I agree 100%

I'm a member of the CCEA, and I don't consider myself selfish. The budget could have been cut in ways that didn't involve teachers-- but it wasn't. Instead, we get another layer of bureaucracy, a district that hired additional teachers this year (and will now have to lay them off), endless programs that have nothing to do with students, and a superintendent who makes six times what a teacher does (but who has not been asked to sacrifice).

Teachers are being bullied by a district that wants to change our healthcare (without a financial motive) against our will, a district who unilaterally broke an existing contract by taking 1.125% from our paychecks since July, a district that wants to deny a raise to teachers who spent thousands of dollars seeking an education with the promise of one.

Why should I agree to give up money to a bully who threatens my livelihood because of their mismanagement? Why are the teachers being vilified? Teachers have already sacrificed, and aren't in the mood to do so again until we see the CCSD work with us instead of against us.

Being from Chicago I love to walk but I can't do it in Las Vegas because it is boring, too hot most of the year, residential areas do not have sidewalks and walking in the street is unsafe and motorists assume your car has broken down and (the good samaritans among them) want to give you a lift.

One in 38,000. And this is news because.....?
