Green’s sub-district idea takes a page from past

What’s with the Guilford County school board? Do they think the public is so dumb we will believe it will not cost more for Superintendent Maurice “Mo” Green’s sub-districts? If they will go back several years, we had that. It was called Greensboro City, High Point City, and Guilford County schools.

Then, we were going to save tons of money by consolidating. Now we have a new school (Northern Elementary) that is less than two years old and already has multiple mobile classrooms. Great long-range planning. We have a school with a leaky roof that is not scheduled for a new one for two years. How much dangerous mold can grow in damp ceilings in two years to endanger staff and students’ health?

Instead of laying off teachers and special-ed instructors, how about scrapping the sub-district plan and look at potential savings in administration.
