It is very alarming how many students attend our schools who live in other counties. These students do not have the background that our longtime students have. Therefore, they are bringing down our test scores which will cost the taxpayers more when the federal funds are stopped or decreased. These scores are very important to our funding.

The issue is more than people simply stealing services from our county. We are dumbing down the classes for these out-of-county students. McIntosh has already slipped. And, of course Fayette County High is slipping fast.

Wake up, school board. Do your job. Arlene Law who is supposed to be overseeing this issue will not even return anyone’s phone calls. She refused to take tag numbers that people try to give to her to check out. Why are we paying someone like this? She works for the taxpayers. Hire someone who can do the job.
