Read the SMMA final report, the numbers are staggering. Everyone needs to step up to the plate. It is great that Dr Thornton is taking the first steps, but make no mistake there is no amount of money you can cut from the teachers contract that will even scratch the surface of the problem. The bond debt should be thought of as an investment in the community, schools make the city great. To the Editorial staff PLEASE take a good look( not just the entrances) at the schools being worked on. Maybe you should find a friend that has a construction background to enlighten you. In any case make it a point to continue writing twice a week, the public has a right to see what years of neglect look like. For those residents who don't have children in the system, like myself you too need to step-up. Great Schools= Great Students= Great City. One last thing Forget being hung up on test scores,

They are just one small part of a much larger problem.
