It's costing a lot more, and we're getting a lot less from the community. It is a strain on the budget.

It's truly a community effort, ... Marshall is getting a lot of support from many sources. We're deeply grateful to everyone who has helped.

We need to put this information out in the public forum. We need to dialogue.

It was a big win for our community. We had great fan support. They were excited.

This is not just a school problem. This is a parent and a community problem as well. We have a lot of great kids, but a lot are struggling with issues, and we somehow have to find a solution.

I grew to like the community during that period of time.
