Work

Well tonight is the night they will have the community meeting to discuss closing my school.  Oh what fun!  The parents are coming up here fully loaded to beg and plead for the school to stay open.  The school board and the superintendent are only planning to discuss WHY it is financially expedient to close us.  One side is wanting to tell them how much the school means to them and the community and the other side is planning to tell people they don't care how emotional it is, they are doing what they feel has to be done.  What a mess!  So I will stay up here after school today to be here for the meeting and hopefully, there will not be any fights or bloodshed.  But I am not optimistic on that count.  I imagine the whole thing will dissolve into a drunken brawl among our parents and someone is likely to lose an eye or teeth before the night is over.  We will just see what happens.  Either way, the board will vote on May 12 to shut us down and I will be jobless after June 30 unless something miraculous happens.  Will keep on posting as more information comes available.
