Marketing not a job for school trustees

NANAIMO: Re: Parents angry over logo cost, Sept. 18.

To the Editor,

Re: Parents angry over logo cost, Sept. 18.

Does the Nanaimo school district seriously need a new logo?

Is it now a business marketing firm trying to attract new customers?

I know my business could not afford that kind of cost. Speaking of which, it will cost much more than $24,000 to introduce the logo. New stationary, new signs and employee downtime trying to plan all this out will add up.

And does the new name clarify that it is a school district more than the wording presently used?

It’s always easier to spend other people’s money and this is not a good way to spend more taxpayers’ dollars, especially in light of all the cutbacks.
