This isn't just mindless school bashing - MHS is operating at 120% of constructed capacity with a near 50% staff turnover rate over three years, including the entire guidance and Spanish departments, each in the same year. That isn't in the article, however, because I don't have reputable sources except for my own firsthand knowledge. I'm not quite sure how to do the fancy inline citation thing, but the unqualified teacher data is courtesy of the 2007 WV School report card they are legally required to distribute, and the information on the music budgets and cost of the astroturf are public knowledge and I believe were even in the newspaper. Unfortunately, citing paper sources doesn't help all that much on the internet, but be aware that I do have sources and please respect this by not reverting if you lack firsthand knowledge of the topic. Thank you. [User:Jpcoop|jpcoop]] (talk) 07:19, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Please cite your sources if you plan to add negative material to an article. This is one of our key principles here in Wikipedia and I'm afraid that we won't compromise. --ElKevbo (talk) 10:04, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
