It's Not An Either/Or-Type Decision

In corner #1, you’ve got those who don’t want to spend one more dime of tax money on public education. In corner #2, you’ve got those who want to give the school administration a blank check with no strings attached.  Neither of these strategies is sound.

Unfortunately, some members of the School Board do not want to talk about any solution unless that single solution alone will solve everything – hence they have proposed county-wide mandatory year-round school attendance.  Instead of discarding good ideas simply because individually none of them are a silver bullet, we need to take the best ideas, use them where possible, and come up with a combination of solutions that will address the overall problem.
