The teachers have adjusted to the three state furlough days in this semester. Now the board of education has taxed us with local furlough days, all of which will be in December. Where did this come from and why was no one told of it?

It is not fair that you can call a city official when you get a speeding ticket and they’ll call the police and you don’t have pay. What about the ones that don’t know a city official?

Mr. Dixon, the Soldier Spur and the VVA newsletter was totally amazing. Courier, I wish you could print it so everyone could enjoy it.
