Home Page - The Comments

Mike Spence loves to listen to himself speak.  Spence just does not like others to listen to what he says, unless they completely agree.  Listen to a Board Meeting you will have no doubt when Mike Spence is speaking.

This page contains some of the more memorable quotes by Mike Spence.  

Spence is good at targeting his audience, those who will support the comment.  He complains when others find out about the comments
as they were not the target audience or for general review. 

Spence's statements cover false claims to raise money terminating and supporters of Superintendent, hunger, movies, charter school cost savings, race, holidays, leadership, relationships, the future, apologies when caught, children, school bond spending, denials of statements, field trips,  oversight fees on charter schools, on his duty to investigate harassment complaints, forcing people to quit, hiring gay and lesbians, camping, and his friend Steve Cox.

Comments come from school board meetings, blogs, or writings. 

The following is for your amusement, horror, or both
depending on your point of view.
