John,
We've always known our current state superintendent is not looking out for our public schools, but this might be a new level of carelessness.
Montana's public schools are out $800,000 because Elsie Arntzen chose to go along with Secretary Betsy DeVos' discriminatory guidance to funnel a larger share of coronavirus relief aid from public schools to private schools.
Now that the federal rule has been struck down ([link removed]) nationwide, Elsie doesn't have a plan for how to make it up to our public schools.
In fact, at the last education interim committee meeting of the year, she sent her fifth deputy ([link removed]) in her place to answer questions about the missing aid, because she felt her time would be better spent attending a partisan rally ([link removed]) than do her job.
Mr. Johnson, who spoke on behalf of the superintendent at the committee meeting, told members: "I don't have a good answer for you when it comes to how to make funds whole as a result of this." ([link removed])
Elsie has known this would be a possibility since May and she failed to prepare. Now our students are going to suffer the consequences.
She's already absent - let's make it official and vote her out on November 3.
