Letter: Vancouver budget cuts don’t add up

April 26, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

April 26, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

With the sudden retirement of John Boyd, the Evergreen School Board has an opportunity to do a reset for the district after losing a third superintendent in under seven years.
