An honest and detailed conversation must take place within every school district in our readership area. Parents, teachers and taxpayers interested in how their money is spent and children in the community are educated deserve an explanation about how this is allegedly being executed.
   Districts finally got honest recently and acknowledged children are not receiving a proper education. It was refreshing to hear two women speak up during the public comment period of the April 15 Española School District meeting. They were tired of the District trying to convince anyone that children were being educated.
   The state Public Education Departmentâs answer? Add 11 to 25 days to next school year.
