I read with interest Teacher Salaries By State, https://www.payscale.com/teacher-salaries-by-state. According to the website California’s teachers are at the top of the list and are making almost seven percent more than second place Massachusetts and over 30 percent more than Ohio in 10th place. The question should be how do our students rank in academic achievement?

Unless you were in the military or an educator you probably didn’t know the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) is responsible for the education of 70,000 children of military members both in the U.S. and overseas.

Because 1,000 high school classes in core subjects had fewer than 10 students as such the DoDEA will cut 300 staff positions to free up funds. Apparently, class sizes can be too small. Stars and Stripes.
The people who live in Fox Hills, in my opinion, have been either way laid or even bush wacked. Many of us know roughly 5,000 people in nearly 3,000 units call Fox Hills home. It’s densely populated and traffic during rush hour can be a chore. Yet this area has no direct representation on the city council, nor have they ever had. The latest insult is the proposed location of the Vote Center. To those I asked for location suggestions the Fox Hills people overwhelmingly wanted the mall.
