What Next?

Today my mind was filled with the many thing that has been going on at work. It can get frustrating.  Board of Education here in hawaii has been making alot of decision that will affect our children and their future. 

Hawaii ranks very low when it come to academics, not all of us can afford private school for our children.  Hawaii to combat the short falls are making the cuts in Education. They started a thing called Furlow Fridays to ofset the short fall, a total of 17 days where our children will lose out on Education.  Does the Governor, Mayor and our Legislatures even care about the future of our children. Maybe not because it's not their childrens future,  I don't think their children attend public school.  The economy is going out the door.  We are now being affected by the short fall.  I have mixed feelings, I really should be, concerned but yet I am not really worried, I thank God for that because no matter which way it ends.  I know I will be okay.  My only concern is for my fellow coworkers, most of them need the job however small it be, but it is needed.  I pray and hope things go well for all concerned.
I enjoy what I do, I work for school bus commpany that transport student to these public schools, I work in Special needs division, we are now being told that the cuts will effect also special Education Division. We service 900+ student some with severe disabilities and Multiple disabilities. I know if I had a special needs child I would be greatly concerned and want to know why? Why are they cutting transportation for our children? What Next?
