• This man had served on the school board for several years and was even, at one point, the vice president of this small community. However, it's safe to say that his time there proved to be counterproductive and frustrating. After it was unveiled that the district was over $10 million in debt and various schools were combined into a limited number of buildings, the folks who were truly getting the short end of the stick here were the students. 

  Not only were they being denied a proper education, but they were also deprived of basic playing space that would allow them to engage in recreational exercise. That socializing factor is a key part of going to school. A playground means more than just leisure. Yet the school district and its various ineffective board members tried to keep this new playground from being finished time and time again. 

  That's only partially why this former board member had an axe to grind. He also likely ended his tenure on the board on a poor note, considering how eager he was to spill all the tea about the mismanagement of funds and incompetent leadership within this group. So, he made sure that the best way to deliver that information was by writing down these revelations onto several bricks that community members were allowed to purchase.
