From a GPS Parent:
I seen on FB you want to know what cuts we are noticing in our schools. My oldest child is in high school and plays several sports. In addition to the $100 per sport athletic fee, for cross country we have to pay an additional $44 to participate in the meets. In prior years this came from the $100 fee but now that doesn’t cover the cost of the meets.
Also, my youngest child started kindergarten this year and I was shocked that they have squeezed 25 students into her portable classroom. Seriously, her classroom is so cramped I can’t believe its within fire codes.
I am so unhappy with our district anymore. If we do not get the board turned in the right direction soon, this will be our last year in GPS.
