The county spent/spends several thousand dollars on 7 Mindsets which is utterly useless, continues to spend thousands for Ombudsman, which is also ineffective and useless, yet can’t find the funds to purchase relatively inexpensive water filters? From someone who has spent over three decades in Walker County schools, it’s extremely frustrating to see once effective schools denigrate into a system handicapped by poor leadership and inaction.

Lead and chlorine can be filtered out of drinking water as well as chlorine just as the writer reveals. Expensive? More taxes for real stuff vs. padding the pockets of administrators? Check out where the tax money goes for public schools... is the lions share going for education of children? safety? or for the admins, top echelons, out of control pensions? could be interesting. may be dangerous to even talk about it. Seems accountability is lacking, secrecy/lack of transparency for some reason, smoke and mirrors responses.
