Letter: Bus problems just tip of iceberg

Is the Forum writer suggesting that the bus system fiasco is an example of what budget cuts can do a product of schools that have had few, if any, budget cuts in the past? Does this learned scholar actually believe that continued, wasteful spending assures education? Will ESPLOST absolutely guarantee something similar with not happen in the future?

True, the bus system should not have failed. More productive insinuations and questions can and should be voiced by elected members of Whitfield County’s school board. For example: Was the flawed system actually needed? Who approved this system and its implementation? Why are those directly accountable for the failed system still on the payroll?

Until elected school board members have the courage to remove administrators who place style of education and school buildings above substance of education children, parents and taxpayers will all lose substantially more than a couple of hours waiting on a school bus.

Parents and taxpayers, this bus situation is only the tip of the iceberg as your children board our educational Titanic.
