Rockwood School District Needs Strong, Decisive Leaders

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Rockwood Stakeholders for Real Solutions members encourage people to consider running for the two Board of Education seats that will be available in the April 2 election.

Dear Rockwood Stakeholders:

The community of the Rockwood School District is in desperate need of strong, decisive leadership on its Board of Education.

In 2007, the Rockwood School Board began discussing unsustainable budget shortfalls for 2013 and beyond.Β Here it is the end of 2012 and there is no real vision or direction for the future; except more taxes.Β

The claim (from Rockwood administrators and board of education directors) to have already cut a total of $22 million over five years is questionable.
