That is beyond stupid, Rice. They also are giving administrators a larger raise than teachers...for the life of me, I cant figure that out. They need less administrators, more teachers, and dont get rid of teachers assistants. The county and state have done a marvelous job of recruiting new teachers, fresh from college, and then doing an even more marvelous job of shooing them away to other states, because of shenanigans like above.
But boy, we sure do need those spiffy new practice jerseys, and padded seat cushions, and color coded mouthguards personalized with the players name, position and number...
