Board defines scope of audit tonight

Tonight, the RUSD is having a special meeting to “discuss and define the scope and objective” of the proposed audit of the PBCG contract. Much hullabaloo has been made of this business partnership over the last week or so. Hopefully tonight the RUSD board will lay the groundwork to answer all the questions, rumors and accusations that are flying around town.

Remember, we get what we deserve. A well meaning phone call today (even to just leave a message) might not be a bad idea. Here is the contact information for the board; do yourself and your neighbors a favor and give them a call to let them know how you feel! I suggest both “sides of the fence” do this; the board needs all the input they can get.

If you do or say nothing, how can you complain about the results? RUSD is the largest recipient of our local tax dollars, yet there seems to be some kind of disconnect in the community. This community (collectively) gets all excited over the funds for remodeling Monument Square, Pointe Blue, and $200 bumpers yet we continue to ignore the very real problems the Racine area faces – poor performing public schools.
