Got the point across that there were three options and the option the BOE chose was to not only close schools but to disrupt grade configurations for only 1% of the budget. Ahhh! The message is getting out there.....

When asked if he thought the LI was a good plan he said, "NO, I can't understand closing 23% of schools closing to save around 1% of the budget. Nearly doubling the bussing without a formal traffic study being conducted." The he as asked if "anything" was solved last night? He replied, "No, we are allowed to speak but get NO answers." How true that is! Then Mark was asked if he was going downtown of Friday for court. He said, "Yes he would be there!". Then he was asked are there a lot of upset parents regarding the LI and he told them, "Yes, the overwhelming majority is very upset about this!"

Principal Posts: 108 Group: Members Member #250 Joined: December 29, 2005	Grant1 Mar 7 2006, 11:50 AM I wouldn't feel comfortable posting something that appears to be written by the LPS administration and the BOE's own hands. This is an EDITORIAL written by the Detroit News staff, not a letter to the editor. We don't need to agree with the stand editorial boards take, but dismissing it by suggesting that it was written by the admin or BOE is a bit out there.

Yes, at the end of the BOE meeting last night, Jay Young was actively looking for the reporters but they had already left within minutes of the meeting ending. Oh darn, he missed another chance.

Too bad the citizens have to force the vote. It is too bad we have to force a vote. Only if the District and the B.O.E. would open up a bit. I keep hoping for a glimmer of hope! I think they are waiting to see what's going to happen on Friday before the even consider opening up the lines of communication. Just my thoughts!
