It currently seems as if the entire ICCSD and its future of hoping to educate and enlighten the youth of this town is riding on 2 folk’s shoulders. Mitch Lingo and Jayne Finch. We as a city must really continue to rally around them and send as many words of appreciation possible their way. The 2 of them have been tasked with the unthinkable of trying to steady the ship and handle the districts current financial situation in the most community minded approach possible, while the district’s administration and 5 other board members continue to act as though this level of financial mismanagement is just another bump in the road. It would be lovely if that were the case, but when you ask the banks for a bailout and even they can’t help you out— maybe it’s time to wake up and realize that we need a top down makeover of the administration. If you go back a year or more, Jayne and Mitch’s voting records show a deep level of understanding that A.) Our Administration has a serious spending problem and ample board members to provide the rubber stamp and B.) Our once continuously growing enrollment has begun to stall out.
Once again KUDOS to Jayne and Mitch, they are undoubtedly working their tail off as VOLUNTEERS. I know we as a community and certainly Jayne and Mitch would appreciate if the 5 other somehow elected board members would start to reflect with their votes how the majority of the community feels.
