The best thing I’ve read about our schools …

…in the Duluth News Tribune in recent years.

We have to rein in spending now. We have to get to some truth about the financial arrangement we’ve gotten into with the Red Plan. We have to make a sober and accurate assessment and start re-prioritizing. Any pennies we can spare have to be directed to the classroom. We have to refocus on the core of education, curricula, teachers and teacher development. We have to quit blowing millions on everything else under the sun. We have a half-billion-dollar investment hanging out there. It was a reckless investment, but we’d better roll up our sleeves and make it work.
