Taft High Wastes Money on Recruitment Flyers
- Share via
* How can a principal justify spending taxpayers’ money to print flyers to recruit students from other public high schools? To add insult to injury, the same school plans to steal time which should be spent educating students and developing classroom instruction and curriculum and divert it to such self-serving interests as running tours for prospective new students.
If there are over 3,000 empty seats in Valley high schools, why not close one school plant? The savings on just the administrative staff alone would be half a million dollars, not to mention the savings on maintenance, athletics and other school-based costs.
In these days of budgetary constraints, wastes of time and money such as those boasted by Taft High School must be noted and stopped.
