Mr Dameron said he is con-
cerned about two major problems
facing our schools, "finances and
consolidation. Our state govern-
ment, in an attempt to balance the
state budget, is drastically reducing
funding of our schools. There must
be another way. We cannot short
change our young people. There is
no substitute for a quality education.
We must spend our available funds
in the manner that will give us the
greatest value for our expenditure
but arbitrary cuts in the education
budget are not wise.
"Concerning consolidation, some
of our students already spend ex-
cessive amounts of time in transit to
and from school. This tires them out
and affects their school perform-
ance. It also limits their participation
in afterschool activities. Consolida-
tion will only worsen this. Consolida-
tion is probably unavoidable at
some time. We must not rush into it.
Our preparation must be thorough
and complete. We must consider all
the advantages and disadvantages
before we put it in action here in
Monroe County," Mr Dameron said.
