Have you seen today's Tribune?

"Several people spoke before the board at its meeting and claimed district officials were not forthcoming when they asked for Superintendent Mike Funk’s contract within the last few weeks."

"Funk said the district is transparent.
To say that we are nottransparent is inaccurate,” he said.

Who is this moron Linda Laurie that doesn't even understand their job is to oversee the administration, not just sit and wave pompoms for them.  I really think we should consider having an IQ test for the school board members because this Laurie and Klatt sound like idiots. And Ciotti sounds like an underhanded scumbag trying to cover up his own incompetence.

You're a special kind of stupid if you, on one hand, get all enraged over this crap, and, on another, ignore how corrupt, say Hillary is. Why the faack would anyone get bent out of shape when this happens on some microcosmic level, and likewise ignore the problem when it becomes global..? :crazy:

Who's a bigger moron Linda Laurie the doctor's wife that was "violated" by being recorded in an open meeting or Ciota claiming it was a violoation of HIPPA. For any ignorant sawbones reading this HIPPA stands for "Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act" and has nothing to do with being recorded in an open meeting.

Time to get the Mayo morons off the school board it seems awfully coincidental that Mayo can't find doctors to come here and the school can't get teachers.

Anyone hear that Dr. Funk let his daughter and a group of friends  have an overnight after prom party at Brookside School? I guess rules do not apply to a select few in the district. Did not realize that one could rent out brookside school for the night? If that is not a liability for our district I do not know what is? Doubt that we will see Leland calling the insurance company about the potential liability on this one.
