Letter to the editor: Another poem about what many refer to as Schedulegate

Dear Editor:letters

Part 5- The story continues…

Hickory dickory dock,
We are happy to see the district turning back the clock.

Mr. Rixford’s scheduling plan,
Turned out to be a really  scam,

Once he was gone,
The old schedule was back on.

The decisions he made,
How quickly they decayed,

To save a buck,
a deal was stuck.

Lets cut back on lunch aides,
Was part of his crusade.

Let us not forget,
They were brought back with regret.

Those in charge are looking back in time,
When the district was running just fine.

The rumors are running amuck,
Has a deal been struck?

Dr. Seitz has been seen around,
Will he help us rebound?

Hickory Dickory Dock..
