"Students in the Allentown School District are planning to walk out next week if Superintendent Russell Mayo doesn't resign and students aren't given a voting voice on the school board and a summer employment program, a group said in an email.

Explaining that Allen High School students walked out three times last year in protest, charter school teacher Michael Frassetto, one of the organizers, said the new effort would begin after second period on Sept. 28."

My Comments About The Article AboveAnother example of how the inmates are running the asylum. I wouldn't blame Superintendent Russell Mayo if he did resign. No one for any amount of money should have to put up with this crap. This goes for teachers as well.

For the life of me I can't understand why it's the school's responsibility to care for unwed mothers kids, provide free meals, summer jobs, police patrols for their bad behavior, be somehow responsible for the dropout rate or to provide counseling & after school programs for those who come from broken homes


This school district has gone way above and beyond their basic mission to educate kids. I'm outraged as a taxpayer that now these ungrateful punks attack the very system which has given them so much. If they go out.. stay out. Let the rest of the good kids get on with their education,

Until they start working and start having to pay for all this nonsense they need to sit down and shut up.. ungrateful little buggers!
