Here's My Letter To The Auditor/Please Send Your Own

Jeff Grisamore Not: Here's My Letter To The Auditor/Please Send Your Own

We Need The Help of Families In Lee';s Summit


Many of you know that the Office of the State Auditor is conducting an official audit of the Lee’s Summit School District.  Lee’s Summit is also being overseen by the OCR for issues that have come up.  It is the perfect time to contact the auditor and make sure that they are aware of everything that goes on in this district.  They need to be made aware of the issues that we face and how the district is handling the education of our children.  You can do this anonymously.  Below I will provide you with the information needed to contact the auditor’s office.

Please don’t let this opportunity pass by without doing all that you can to help our children.  

Thank you
Sherri

Guns in Classrooms: South Dakota law allows districts to arm teachers.

Guns in Classrooms: South Dakota law allows districts to arm teachers.


I am amazed that we cannot get a law passed to protect our children from child abuse in the public school system but in SD school staff were able to get a gun law passed to protect themselves.  What is wrong with our government and why do they refuse to protect our children?
