A 'Yes' vote on Diversity Policy and RPS = more bad decisions with a higher price tag

By Mike Thayer

Four members of the Iowa City School Board have a track record of poor decision making.  The problems of the Iowa City Community School District are problems sourced in bad management, NOT for a lack in funding.  The priorities have been out-of-whack.  The approval of a diversity policy that's nothing more than a shell game for Free/Reduced Lunch numbers, combined with a 'Yes' vote on the RPS before we have the facilities/capacity data in hand (due out in April) only means we'll have more bad decisions with a higher price tag.  These two things are a recipe for failure folks.
