Traveling outside of the US to look for teacher when you can look here at home (UNLV, UNR) or our neighboring states. Cut the waste out of building overly expenisve building that we could have tone down a bit. Did our kids benfit from that, no only the adults. Lets get our prioity straight kids come first. We are telling our kids to be responisble, now is the time when ALL adults to do the same. Everyone in this state and US is responsible to give our children an education and teach them social behaviors to be able to go out and become responsible adults and citizens for the next generation to come. Our job is to educate not take it away by limiting or getting rid of programs, sports and after school activities. In reality it keeps all lot of the kids off the streets and getting into trouble because they are to busy keeping their grades up so they can be on the team. Have we all forgot that this is part of the education for our children. To do their very best whether they win, loose or come in first or were ever. Its what we learn from that experince and the friendship/working together that is important. Leave our students, teacher and support staff alone and go in a different direction than the one we always follow every time we have to pinch penneys. Maybe we need to start a rainy day fund to help us when we find ourselves having problems.

the site on trop had 2 people holding
slow signs on the same side of the street when working only on one side of the road .
or people just standing while other are working , and you cant tell me they are waiting to start their job , because if they are not needed right then , then they should not come to work until needed that would save on some money ,
why always the schools not the goverment jobs , like too many chiefs and dont pick on the warriors

Increasing third-grade class sizes, making teens walk three miles to high school, and eliminating hundreds of school librarians, computer support personnel and tutors are a few of the changes that the Clark County School District is considering to cut $130 million from the 2009-2010 budget.

Other proposals include eliminating sports and all after school activities, officials said.


Yep, in a state at the bottom of the barrel for education and the top of the charts for juvenile crime, this sounds like the perfect answer!!!!!
