Eastern Kentucky our States black eye

I believe the people can make a difference by going to the "board meetings" and making their voice to be heard. The members of the Board of Education need to be convinced, in no uncertain terms, that they CAN AND MUST do more for the students. How long has it been since the members have voted themselves a raise? I'd almost bet that the KY Department of Education has allocated a lot more than $500 for that school.......there needs to be an audit, and NOW.

Dolly Parton has a program called "Books for Kids" (or something like that) and she gives generously to lots of children's educational programs. Somebody needs to get in touch with her and tell her what you have posted here and see if she will use her influence to get educational materials for those children.

With the elections coming up, be sure to do your research on every candidate's stand on education. In my opinion, Billy Harper really shines on the subject of education, but again that's just my opinion.

Election coming up! big deal! What do you want to hear? lower taxes you got my vote, better education, you really got it now,Medical insurance for all!!! hooray our savior is here.Guess what? they only tell you WHAT YOU want to hear.If our elected officials listened to us, there would be no debate on illegal amnesty, most folks want the law followed, if they dont belong, get em out!Oh wqe need new laws, BS who follows the ones we have now?When law breakerw cant be prosecuted because a county lacks funds to jail the law breakers, it tells our policemen, look somewhere we can afford.laws are not the answer, we already have them, enforce them, or just tell everyone to do what you want who cares.When elected officials dont follow thje wished of the people, folks quit voting. and when votes are lost, stolen, miscounted, or just ignored, it does not speak well for this country, and much of the world is aware of this.
