This is quite amazing. How on earth did these children learn to the point that they can excel in an Academic Decathlon when the bond issues didn't pass and if you listen to Educrats, there is no money to educate our kids. How could this have happened? Or maybe, there are dedicated children and parents for Mt Veiw and Red Mountain that care about their education.
