ZERO TOLERANCE FOR ZERO TOLERANCE
For those of you who plan to vote in your school board elections, there is a question that you need to ask. It’s not about property taxes or spending, but ask the candidates about their position on zero tolerance.
Although some educators will say it is the most fair way to issue punishment, it is really a cop out and a shield for school districts to hide behind and a way for them to avoid making hard decisions. You would be shocked at how many administrators avoid making tough calls and hand out unfair punishment.
You need to make sure you know where your candidate is on the issue and make sure they explain it to you to your satisfaction.
Don’t let them hide behind zero tolerance!
