I had to take it all in...

I mean, after months of concentrating on what is REALLY important to me, namely my family and professional life, I see that Lancaster is in the news again. Though it's old news, the school's plan to cut a day off of their schedule to save money is the saddest thing I've ever seen. However it is accepted or denied by the general public, the fact that it needed to be proposed is telling of what trouble LISD has behind the curtain that is Larry Lewis' financial policy. Many saw this step of desperation coming and still other prophecies are yet to be realized but they shall come to pass as well. When the Titanic began to sink, there was no doubt that everyone would get wet. It was just a matter of how long they waited to do so!
Can Lancaster turn this around? Can the city step in as a controlling entity and help save this broken administration through financial guidance? I doubt it.
You see, no matter who comes forward at this point, no matter what resolution comes to light, the wheels are off the wagon and it's headed for the cliff. It's my fear that LISD will have to hit bedrock financially before changes are made to repair the Trump-like spending that put them where they are at now.
