NO SIGN OF CONCERN FROM THE SCHOOL BOARD AND THE SUPERINTENDENT’S OFFICE
Below is the automated message that parents receive from the Monongalia County Board of Education when the BOE fails to supply a school bus on regular school days. Never an apology with the notice, of course. The message below arrived, unlike the bus, this morning. The bus carries Eastwood Elementary, South Middle, and Morgantown High students. Of course this week is state testing, Westest week at Eastwood Elementary and other schools, but these students have no bus available to get to school for the tests. These transportation failings are becoming a regular occurrence in Monongalia County Schools.
And then, shortly before the actual start of the school day today, Eastwood Elementary parents received an apologetic automated phone call from Eastwood Principal Hartshorn. She apologized twice for lack of a bus. She said if students had no way to school they could make up the Westest tomorrow. Apart from this apology today from Eastwood Principal Hartshorn has anyone ever heard an apology for this basic failing, lack of public bus service, from anyone else in the BOE?
The Monongalia County Schools administration cannot even provide buses for students during the state testing days. What grows ever more evident with every failing is that they don’t care. They don’t care enough to fix the mess they’ve made.
