LETTER: Bad optics

In Friday’s sports section, a report was made about Liberty High School traveling to Hawaii to play football (“Gorman, Liberty meet formidable Hawaii foes”). While I’m sure a good deal of fundraising allowed this to take place, I’m also sure that a goodly amount of school funding — read taxpayer’s money — was expended for this trip as well.
Considering the recent funding turmoil at the Clark County School District, even if the monetary reality isn’t too damaging, the optics surely are.
