Sounding Board

“When Ada City Schools has their own school attorney do the investigation concerning their teacher, how can unbiased investigation be performed? It seems to me if the attorney says nothing can be done because it took place last year, why didn’t he say that last November? It would have saved a lot of heartache for a lot of people.”



“According to findings done by Ada City Schools' attorney, and we are to assume it is accurate, we are to assume the ‘The System’ is okay with a teacher drinking alcohol around students at a school event; it is okay for a teacher to have students in her hotel room with alcohol present; it is okay for a teacher to have a mixed gender of students in her hotel room as she changes for an event; it is okay for a teacher to and to transport alcohol in a school van with students present. If you want higher standards for your children, remember there is a school of choice just to our north.”



“It seems foolish to me to subsidize the oil companies which are making billions of dollars in profits. Why can’t we use that to subsizdise independent truckers to keep food costs down.”



“This is the most foolish administration I have lived through. I am 72 years old and I have never seen anyone try to borrow themselves out of debt like this one has. George Bush has literally ruined this nation.”



“Why does the Ada administration punish athletes, cheerleaders and Couganns when they party over the weekend. But, when an adult teacher acts inappropriately at a school function it is Okay. I thought teachers were to always represent their school. How many sets of rules does the Ada administration have?”



“I know the Gala, which is sponored by the Ada City Schools Foundation, is coming up. How can Ada School Administration support an event where alcohol is served and people are driving home? Doesn’t Ada High Leadership Class and DARE spend countless hours teaching the dangers of drinking and driving to the students? Ada school administrators need think about mixed messages they are sending our students.”



“Maybe it is time for Ada School board and superintendent to focus on the future of our district instead of covering up their mistakes by harrasing the former football coaches who have moved on with their lives.”



“What is going on at Ada High School? I have lived in Ada all my life and I am embarrased by what is acceptable by our teachers and students.”
