Kids and their pesky questions

During yesterday's meeting of the New Paltz Central School District Board of Education, where the district's latest painful budget plan was presented for public comment, the only one to speak up about spending was a 15-year-old:

At the hearing, Sylvia Lagodka, 15, questioned why officials are not requiring more used of double-sided copies and how cuts would affect advanced placement classes. “Currently double-side copying is not mandated ... and I have some teachers who print out their tests on single-sided paper,” she said. “I think that it should be mandatory to be double-sided.”

Judging from the Daily Freeman's coverage of the meeting, it seems that nobody gave her an answer.
