Welcome to AAPS Waste Watcher

Well, the recent 2009 Washtenaw Regional Enhancement Millage election had a lot of controversy. The voters in Washtenaw County finally said, "NO MORE TAXES & IT'S THE ECONOMY STUPID". Ann Arbor meekly voted to favor of another tax increase (we love taxes here) and what is a few more unemployed; we have shelters for those guys. The results of the election did bring forward several critical questions about the AAPS district:

• Where is all that money going and who is running our school district?
  
• Why is one of the richest school districts in the state always crying....poor?
  
• Are our children eating our school tax money for lunch?
  

I, with many other guest commentators, have decided to explore the aforementioned questions and will hopefully be uncovering and discussing the following:

1. Identify apparent waste in our public schools
2. Provide solutions for better spending

Our ultimate goal is to provide a world-class, child-centered education system for our community. If it does not directly impact the classroom, it is WASTE!!!!


The educational systems need to be designed to weather tough economic times. We welcome comments from the community and hope parents, staff, administrators, teachers and taxpayers will participate in this constructive forum.
