Ellsworth: Your tax dollars are not being spent wisely in schools

Posted

Teachers are not provided adequate teaching materials (textbooks, workbooks, interactive technology and color copy/printing capabilities) which are directly impacting our children’s educational success.

Your tax dollars are spent on a multitude of programs that get eliminated before we even know if they’re making a difference. We must focus on our children’s needs and provide teachers with the RIGHT resources. Don’t you want to know why our present school committee voted to give our administration a bonus when our children aren’t given the tools they need in their classrooms?

As parents and taxpayers, we need to put our children first. Let’s find a balance between our children’s educational success and spending taxpayers’ money responsibly.

Together we can bring balance to Bristol.

Sheila Ellsworth

Ms. Ellsworth is a candidate for Bristol Warren School Committee.

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
