I am a parent at Fairview and have been for 4 years. I have read the other reviews and I do not understand why there is so much emphasis on the increase of free and reduced lunches.

They work with what they are given. The main focus should be on what is best for the kids. All parents should get involved with their child. It's obvious that the school board is not going to do anything so we as parents have to make a difference. So instead of talking about it, DO something about it! Read less
