>In light of the recent disclosure that BOE employees failed to deposit donated funds earmarked for an athletic scholarship in memory of RHS graduate Edward “Ted” Winfield, I will be voting “no” on the school budget this coming Tuesday.

Clearly, an organization incapable of promptly depositing checks, and holding no one accountable once the egregious error was discovered, should not be trusted to manage $84.4 million in taxpayer monies.

I’m fed up with all of the BOE’s mistakes, and their continued failure to discipline those responsible for making them.

Vote “no” on Tuesday, April 21 and send a clear message that taxpayers expect increased effectiveness and more accountability for less money.
