As I watch the news, I can’t help but to follow this story. Atlanta and Fulton county funding crisis due to tax revenue. This financial downfall could potentially result in teacher lay offs, furlough days, and delays in pay. They took this issue to court in hope a judge can rule a favorable decision and mandate a temporary collection order. But I’m not sure if it has solved the problem. It amazes me that one decision can harm the community and school system as a whole. This not only effects the morale of the teachers of these districts, it can also affect the school climate. What are our district and school leaders to do when put in this type of situation?
Jillian,
ReplyDeleteThere is truly nothing any leader can do in this situation. It does play in the complex Atlanta political seen. Education has been an after thought for most of this political season and this is actual prove that politicians for got about it. Moreover, I think this was actually part of a bigger ploy (insert conspiracy theory here) to confuse homeowners about their taxes allowing investors to take make offers to homeowners that may not be able to afford this bill around holiday season.
