Navarro and Weast declared "Lawsuit Magnet"

Its official, Jerry Dean Weast, Nancy Navarro and the rest of the
Montgomery County Board of Education are "Lawsuit Magnets." It's
getting old talking about all the lawsuits filed against Weast and his
board.

Parents who live south and east of the Middle School Magnet Consortium
are upset with the busing provided their children. Why, because there
is no busing, that's why. If you live to the North or West (i.e. where
the rich white people live) your children are provided buses, which they
don't need. Accordingly, 190 parents sent a petition the Jerry Dean and
the Board requesting transportation. In response, Jerry Dean, Nancy
Navarro and the rest of the Board said nothing.

Instead they sent Erik J. Lang out to say that the parents were told
about the busing in advance so they should not be upset. They also
blamed the Bush administration for not providing more money for busing.
Huh? Jerry Dean and Nancy Navarro like to blame Bush for any problems,
seems to work with lots of the voters. Hey, as bad as Bush is, you
can't blame everything on him.

They also proudly proclaimed that parents were told early on that kids
would not get transportation, so it is alright? Of course this is the
BOE that likes to spring things on parents or implement "initiatives"
without parents knowing what they are up to. I guess that is an
improvement.

Stay tuned, the lawsuits on this one should be filed soon.
