I seem destined to have to tackle the Clark County School Board. Last year the twins missed four days of school on days they are spraying pesticides in the public schools. Why in the world they can’t do this after hours, on weekends, holidays, teacher days or any other day the little guys aren’t there is beyond me. But more importantly, the school thinks I’ve somewhat lost my mind. The Principal says no one else has EVER questioned this spraying. They’ve missed two days of school since it started – then the ants came inside – so now there are two more days. I just don’t get it. Or they just don’t get it. I’m sure they all think I’m nuttier than a fruitcake but I’ve lost one child to pesticides sprayed on the school ground, one who was never sick a day in his life, so they can talk about me all they want. I will take it up with the School Board but meanwhile my guys have to miss school. Just seems plain stupid to me.

After hearing Hayden’s story, I know this is a fight that needs fighting and you’re definitely the one to do it, Nancy. I pity them when they get in your way on this one. The kiddos have a steel magnolia on their side.
