Mr. Hermann's feigned sympathy for "those who are to be inconvenienced " by the districts proposal to issue metrocards to 12 and 13 year old children is insensitive and so transparent. As President of the Valley Stream Teachers' Association he should support the safety of ALL VS children. As the parent of one of "those who are to be inconvenienced" and TAXPAYER of Valley Stream, I can assure Mr. Herrmann that SAFETY is the issue. In response to his comment that our "ire" should be directed towards Governor Cuomo & Senator Skelos, let me remind Mr. Herrmann that school bureaucracy is the underlying issue. The fact is that we can no longer sustain the salaries and benefits that account for approximately 75% of our school budgets, including superintendent salaries that are higher than the Governor of New York STATE. Mr. Herrmann, along with all the other educrats, should stop trying to deflect from the real issue, which is out of control spending, and the VSCHS school board must stop acquiesing to union demands while holding our children hostage for basic services! Parents, lets wake up and let them know that we see through their rhetoric!
