Our schools are dysfunctional, but the proper thing to do isn't to crash a server. The proper thing to do is report the facts as they are. I advocate strong journalism, and being a journalist personally, I have to advocate having the facts. If you're interested in supporting the school or raising hell in protest against it, then you have to do your homework.
For instance,
http://www.mckinneyisd.net/gen_info/board.html
reports that the President of the board is Geralyn Kever.
Furthermore,
http://www.lwvcollin.org/YEOmckin.html
reports the following contact information which could be theoretically used to contact the President for comments and fact finding and proper journalism:
Geralyn Kever
2409 Clublake Trl
Mc Kinney, TX 75070-4003
(972)562-1186
(home address and number?)
She's a public official who functions as the executive ombudsman. Her facts and the facts of the school should be open to use under the full extent the law permits! The reason I present this information is that what is needed is objective journalism: an inquiry into the situation. Investigation!
The following links might aid in healthy investigation of the scenario. All are public informaiton.

are additional names listed by the school district as being possible sources... investigate investigate and report, as I say!
Perhaps a website might be started to a journalistic approach to gathering the facts. A healthy journalism is the blood of free speech and the enemy of tyranny. Free speech.
