It's a game. You don't play by the rules we made and we will pull a power trip on you.

Well the schools should send the kids home to the parent with a letter stating that with no funds from the State we can't pay the cost of education. Tell the parents to call the State and tell them how you feel.report abuse

So, the information needed to get 100's of 1000's of dollars was available at the end of the 08 school year and the school district thinks payroll for this Friday is an acceptable reason for not turning it in on time.

What that says to me is that the administration only cares about the administration and the children can do without. Good Job again.

Just an idea but maybe if they hired anybody with an IQ over 80 they could figure out how to fill out their forms.report abuse
