I never felt good about the new grade configurations in the first place. Now the complete unknown about it is starting to come to the surface. There is so much going wrong in our school system right now, it's just bitter icing on the cake to even think about the music programs suffering. Is there really anything concerned parents can do about this? I feel really bad for all the families that chose Maryville as their home based on the school system as it was a few years ago.
"Is there really anything concerned parents can do about this?"
Yes. Jenkins' and West's terms on the school board expire next in 2012. Fire them at the ballot box and replace them with excellence-minded candidates. Then replace the current schools director with one who is actually qualified to do the job and not based on her "relationships." http://www.blounttoday.com/news/2007/...
