We are advised NOT to judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics.   Funny how that works.

It's already known how to cut massive amounts from the school budgets.

Eliminate the public sector teachers unions.

Problem solved.

You mean go by individual contracts, not supply retired teachers with lifetime full-medical benefits, not let substitute teachers participate in the retirement system & be able to fire people if they are doing criminal acts?

Nah, not in Schenectady. Even the janitors can be terrorist yet remain on the payroll....

I know what you mean.  I've tried to do that and it never works.

If you are copying from another website, you could always put it in a spreadsheet make a picture image and then use that.


Maybe the board's Admin can either  convert it to a table for us, or tell how to make it into the table, that seems to be the only icons up there that don't work, unless we are doing something wrong.

speak up for the people rather than the politicos and their rich cronies.

Apparently, when a Superintendent states that a $70 million dollar project won't cost the taxpayers anything... sheeple believe him.

Can't wait until out-of-pocket funds for permits, inspectors and other mandatory provisions are needed. Where's that money going to come from????

Are people so stupid that they believe something too good to be true???

Incredible....simply incredible.....
