BOE

allowed misuse of buses

The question of the

week is who in the Fayette County school system allowed

the misuse of school property to support a private

organization with school/taxpayer property?

Fayette

schoolbuses were used to ferry people from the Starr's

Mill [school] parking area to and from the Peachtree City

airport over a two-day period [during the Wings Over

Dixie Airshow Saturday and Sunday].

One can

only imagine the expense of the drivers, fuel, and wear

and tear on this very expensive equipment and if the

school system is being reimbursed for the true value of

this equipment. Even full reimbursement does not excuse

this misuse.

Seems to me

the party or parties responsible for allowing this

equipment to be misused should be immediately terminated.

This equipment is actually taxpayers' property and is not

supposed to be used for the support of any private

organization.

Finally,

please don't forget that the school board bears the final

responsibility to insure the proper use of school

equipment. These are the same individuals that want you

to approve a $90 million SPLOST that they are bound to

waste on other unneeded projects. Efforts are being made

to slow the growth in this area and the school board is

working to pollute the air even more and increase the

traffic on the already overcrowded streets and highways.

This is yet

another reason to vote no to SPLOST on Sept. 21.
