Just a question....and I'm sorry if someone else has asked this.

As a parent of a student and a taxpayer, I'm interested in why a major game was scheduled for a school night during the last week of school, when students might be working to finish the term?  I like a good game as much as anyone, but what does this say about priorities and the message it sends to students?

Also, your term started a week later than PCC, for example. But the term ends at the same time.  Are the students getting fewer hours of instruction?

Thanks. 

Thank you.
