Guest guest Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 VICTORY FOR THE WINKELMAN FAMILY!! IT IS ABOUT TIME. CONGRATS TO THE WINKELMANS Read the article below and see if you agree that this is an outrage!! The board members need a call before tomorrows meeting. The District has already spent about $1,000,000 in attorney fees fighting the Winkelmans, and apparently intend to spend more! The members have a fiduciary duty to the children and tax payers of Parma. Please call, and email them reminding them of their duty to the Parma Community as a whole. SPECIAL EDUCATION SHOULD BE ABOUT MEETING THE NEEDS OF CHILDREN, NOT LINING THE POCKETS OF SCHOOL DISTRICT ATTORNEYS. Please join me by calling these board members and remind them of the fiduciary duties. Parma is asking for a tax levy, which failed by a large margin. http://blog.cleveland.com/parmasunpost/2008/03/parma_voters_reject_issue_8_ok.ht\ ml A quick look at the Parma City School District's two issues on the March 4, 2008 ballot.
