Dear editor,
The small cities of Allen County have endured and suffered decisions made by Gov. Brownback concerning consolidating the schools to a bigger city and more population.
Each city has taxpayers paying to Allen County, it looks to me. The Board of Education is being a little possessive about the money it receives for each student, leaving small cities at the mercy of Iola and its Board of Education.
As the students lost their school in Gas and LaHarpe, they were enrolled in Humboldt, Moran, Colony and Iola so no one town was left out except the small cities who lost their schools and students.
This is what I think. The Board of Education and councils of some cities come down to passing the buck for it’s always somebody else’s blame. We need to think of all students.
Lloyd W. Turner,
LaHarpe, Kan.
