Tony Dungy coach of the Indianapolis football Colts experienced a parent's worst fear the death of a child. The loss of a child is always devastating but it is more so when the child is a talented eighteen year old whose life is tragically cut short.

Better funding of our school system is needed to enhance teacher retention. The departure of good teachers has the potential to negatively impact tests scores and morale within the system.
