Instead of moving why don't you help elect somebody with backbone to the board. There are two seats up this year. Both of these need to be replaced. Let's all join together to correct this problem. Next school board meeting is 2/13. We should get as many people as possible to go.

I was at the last BOE meeting that was held jan.23rd. A lady got up and addressed the issue. The board kinda laughed it off and seemed a bit bored with the issue. So i do think we should get as many people as we can to show up in Feb. We should let them know that it was "we" the taxpayers who put them in office, and "we" the taxpayers can take them right back out. I know of one student that is definatley a illeagle student living in Rex,ga. I used my resourse's to make sure neither parent was a resident or employee of fayette county. Neither worked in fayette co or resides in fayette co. When trying to let arleen know the info, we were brushed off as if it didnt even matter. Whats next?

While I couldn't agree with you more on this issue, there is a certain degree of humor at the fact that you're writing about an issue involving education yet your post appears to have been written by a five year old who feel asleep on the keyboard.

What are you, some kind of school teacher? I prefer it also if someone takes the time to learn to write and spell, but if they don't, we simply can't hang or shoot them, now can we. The point is more important.

Sorry Mr. Squirrel I dont have time to think of the most clever way to get my point across. The fact of the matter is were all on the same team. If we can get this resolved, ill be more than happy. I think the illegal matter is more important, than the grammer i use to get my point across. What do you think?

I expected the humor in that to be missed- it was still funny. Just for future reference, it's spelled "grammar." But again, I wholly agree with your position, I just find it amusing (as do others) that a written discussion about education has so many misspellings, grammatical mistakes and punctuation errors. No, it's not a big deal.

highgreen, what can I say? I'm just trying to keep up with the Joneses... so to speak.

Now, on point, John DeCotis states today that he's unware of unreturned phone calls and will work to solve the problem. Isn't that the problem? I'd advise the BOE to take a few minutes and read some of the firsthand accounts detailed on this website.

Dr. Decotis knows that Arlene Law and Mr. Campbell are not returning phone calls. At the last board meeting a lady got up and told the board that her calls were not returned from either of them. They need to think of a better excuse. Although its probably too late because they can kiss being re-elected goodbye!

I used to be a FCBOE substitute teacher. I routinely heard teachers commenting about students who brought in a Krispy Kreme everyday from the RIVERDALE store since they passed it coming to school EVERY day! At Whitewater Middle, the dropoff line is a joke. Check the plates - you'll see a lot of Clayton, Coweta, etc. plates. Do not dare to tell me that there are not illegal kids in this school system and overcrowding our schools. Also, do not dare put the onus on teachers to report these kids - teachers have quite enough to do keeping up with state regulations and {gasp} trying to teach their students. By the way, teachers, you are doing a great job for the most part. Thank you very much.

I still do sub, and know of at least one family with 2 kids at RSMS that live in Coweta. Neither of their parents work for the school system. They've been reported by several parents. I agree that teachers shouldn't have to try to keep up with all of this but if they know it, they should tell.
