So, I resigned with Mr. Richardson this morning. I am done. I will no longer volunteer at Chino Valley School District. I leave you disappointed, disillusioned, and frankly disrespected. Okay? I will not donate any more equipment to the sports programs here because in the past, it was easy. This year, it has been akin to an ongoing tooth extraction. I will no longer make booster club donations. The kids rate it. the coaches that I know rated the district does not. Okay, it's over. Here's the thing. The students, in this case, the student athletes and their parents deserve better than this. They have every right to expect better than the treatment that they've gotten this season. They have every right to demand it. They are the customers for the product that the school district is supposed to be providing. No product means no customers. And without customers, there's no reason for all of this, any of this to exist, right?
