What Ms. Poniewaz Said

October 31st, 2002

A letter to the local paper:

To the editor:

As a Clark County School District support staff employee, I would like to respond to Lisa Kim Bach’s Oct. 25 article on Bobby Mancuso, the former ESEA president arrested for solicitation.

All support staff should call for his termination instead of a 10-day suspension. What parent would want him as a bus driver for their child?

The district is doing the right thing finally by checking backgrounds, but he should get no special treatment just because he was president of ESEA.

Joe Furtado states that Mr. Mancuso did well as president. I beg to differ. We are out millions of tax dollars and got stuck with a crummy health insurance plan. I hope that support staff employees will realize that a co-worker in charge of our union is just that — a co-worker with no basic skills that qualify him to be in control of our lives, salaries or insurance.

I further hope the public will demand the district consider the safety of their children and the taxes they pay.

FIRE BOBBY MANCUSO.
