Early out on Fridays?
I am wondering why the Brainerd School District has two early outs and a week of vacation all in the month of March? Why can’t the early outs be on Fridays so plans can be made for — oh, maybe a family weekend?
Anti-racism workshop
Don’t blame clergy, local officials or youths for poor attendance. Take the hint. We understand racism, hate crimes and prejudice in the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s. We get it. Get off it. The lily white liberals in their glass houses are so blinded in their witch hunt for a sacrificial lamb, their whining rhetoric bores me.
Many questions
The school principal used to be responsible for discipline — why do we need a police car almost each and every day? The station is 5 minutes away. What is the job description of District 181 principals? Elementary and secondary? How many do we have?
Others people might want to be heard
Why was Rep. Ward’s latest flyer asking for input from his constituents placed in the Dispatch? What about the constituents that don’t get the newspaper? Do their voices not count or is this a cost-saving measure as opposed to putting them in every mailbox in the district? There are probably other voices that would want to be heard other than those getting the paper. I appreciate the effort from Rep. Ward and the questions are very good and to the point but I think there are other people who might want to be heard.

The early outs are for the teachers to have an in-service. If they were held on Fridays, the teachers would not show up because they would be using it for a "family weekend". But always remember...It's for the children.
People can always reach Rep.
People can always reach Rep. Ward whether they are Dispatch readers or not. I am sure it was just an affective way to reach people.

You're right. They're the ones that don't get it.

Nice to know you don't have to subscribe to contact him.
Used to be responsible for discipline...
When I was a lad it was the parents that took care of any "out of line" behaviors.
Most parents today would like to have that same courtesy.
The principles must work with the courts now a days as there is a list a mile long on the court dockets for kids.
Great way to spend my tax dollars, dont think so, let the parents handle the kids!
town hall meetings
Rep. Ward had 4 Town Hall meetings on Saturday, all over the county. Open to all. A rousing discussion at the one I attended.
Fairly well attended, but not packed. Guessing most people would rathar complain than to show up...................
Early Outs! Oh my!
When i read about the so-called "early outs", all i could thing to myself (or say to my self) was, "the teachers and there unions and there bloatedness"!
EVERY one know's that the teachers union and it's bloated waistfulness is responsible for this.
I say, get them out of there once and for all!

early outs
it is a way to still get funding for a day of school. It would be really nice to have it on a Friday (as a parent of two). But I can wish in one hand......
