    To the Joplin board:

    Please eliminate the paid administrative positions of this organization and let each school identify students requiring basic need assistance.

    That would never include rent, utilities and the like.

    Thank you.

    Here is an opportunity to disengage from the hold CJ Huff still has on the R8 school district. There are other ways to truly help children, the saying "Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. Teach the man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." Focus on teaching the children and provide in house services to the needy students, it's such a better way to spend your money. Use the money for what it is intended, not to pad someone's bank account and if the school district raises funds, the money should stay within the school district. Hire people who have ethics and are there for the right reasons. Do the right thing and just say no to a Bright Futures contract R-8 - now is your chance!
