Gloucester City School District Being Audited by the State
If you pick up the Courier Post today you will see the good name of Gloucester City has been splashed across the front page of the paper in banner headlines. As in the past whenever the Courier prints a story about our fair city it isn’t good news. And this time it is no exception. The state Department of Education seized control of spending and hiring of the Gloucester City School district and has demanded reams of documents concerning operations.

"Everybody's bought into the idea these kids can do well. Now we're going to go right back where we were before, with larger class sizes. . . . All I do is paperwork. I'm a weary person. I'm tired of fighting for these kids," says Mary T. Stansky, Gloucester City's superintendent of schools, seen here on the vacant land where a middle school was supposed to be built.

Dear Bill,
Have you looked into this quote by Dr. Stansky. What does she mean that she is tired of fighting for these kids. Will she still fight for them, or does she not care anymore. I was blown back by that quote, and I am a little worried. Thanks.
