I agree that it needs to be cleared up, but who among us has an extra $30,000 laying around -- come on -- if you get paid what most of us get paid, you probably are spending most of it on living. diane wiley -- who does definitely NOT have an extra $30....

Forget David Jennings. What about personal responsibility? If this were me, I would not let this stay unresolved for even a few months, let alone years. Settle up now. Get the benefit, pay for the benefit. Man, this stuff makes me angry. There is a large group of parents, city-wide and across most MPS schools that are working together to make positive changes in overcrowded classroom sizes, the achievement gap, the need for an actual increase in funding from the state/federal level and teacher stability. Meanwhile, the Board and Administration now get to be side tracked on something that should have been settled a couple years ago. One person can clear this up today. If it takes a credit card or two, so be it. That shouldn't be our (taxpayer, parent, administrative staff) problem.
