Former school district employee and frequent School Board meeting attendee Jim Nims has a question. He's asked it of me a few times, at a few separate meetings now so I thought I'd go ahead and do him the courtesy of responding.
Knowing I'm a conservative that supports school choice, Nims apparently finds it amusing to take jabs at me and make snide, crass remarks about me. recently he has repeated a question over and over, asking:
"If the District 1 Board member has sent a letter to Newpoint asking for the taxpayer's money back."
Jim---The answer to that question is No. I did better than that.
You see, there is more to the story than just answering your question with a "NO", Jim.
Let me explain it for you, let me break it down for you Jim so that you might understand the issue.
You see, I support charter schools so when the allegations surrounding Newpoint, a school I strongly supported before all the misconduct was alleged, arose in March---I took the issue seriously.
Unlike others who knew of the same allegations and stood by and did NOTHING, I went to red alert,
