Responsibility lesson costs district booster club members
Local controversy over a high school incentive program funded from district and booster club sources, after imprudent use of public funds and an unsigned Pepsi contract. Principal Burr promised $1,000 to 10 students to boost attendance for state aid, prompting the Buffalo Booster Club to cover the sum. Six members voted to pay, while Linda Ackerman, Kathy Larkin, and Jackie Miller opposed, resigning from the executive committee. Ackerman and Larkin cited fiscal missteps and lack of accountability, urging administration to acknowledge mistakes and teach responsibility.
