The Muskego follies

This morning's Milwaukee Journal Sentinel editorializes on the recent controversy over purchases with "leftover" funds from a bond issue by the Muskego-Norway School District.

Which raises the question of what School Board members were thinking when they approved the projects. Of course school administrators are going to ask for permission to spend surplus money. And they can always point to worthwhile projects. It's the job of School Board members to know when to say no. Board members represent the parents, students and taxpayers of the district. That's who they answer to, and that's whose interests must come first.

"Of course"? Meaning we should assume school administrators are empire builders, and it's the school board, and not school administrators, who might consider the interests of taxpayers, parents, and even students?

Update: For example, when we read Teachers union, MPS superintendent both support Doyle's budget ?
