Sumner: Name change would waste money

Re: “Some in Sumner decry district name change idea,” (TNT, 4/14).

It appears the Sumner School District has come up with another way to waste taxpayer dollars. A name change to include Bonney Lake. I think the district should focus on more important issues. First, education.

I see nothing wrong with the old name. It appears the school board sits around and tries to come up with ways to blow money.

I have a terrific idea; if they insist on changing the name, why not call it the Education School District? After all, isn’t this what should be accomplished?

Put the estimated $39,000 to $100,000 it would cost toward something that will go toward children’s education. You know, stupid little things like books.
