Attendance Zone Decision for Cooke Elementary School Results In A Protest

Attendance Zone Decision for Cooke Elementary School Results In A Protest

An ipetition landed in my email.  Here’s what it says:

Protest of Red Clay School Board’s Attendance Zone Decision for Cooke Elementary School

We demand that the Red Clay Consolidated School District School Board reverse their October 15 decision to deviate from the Attendance Zone feeder pattern that had been presented by the Attendance Zone Committee and accepted by the community. This last-minute decision undermined six months of work by the Attendance Zone Committee and did not give the community an opportunity to voice concerns. The students of Lancaster Court Apartments will not benefit from this decision, and the decision contradicts the Neighborhood Schools Act. The Board’s action was not ethical and the decision is not acceptable.

So… I made some calls to try and figure out what happened.  I’m piecing this together from various conversations, so if anyone has additional insight please let me know.  Here’s what I heard….

To 2016…And Beyond!!??

Filed in Delaware, National by on November 7, 2014 93 Comments

I figure it’s time for a clean thread to discuss what might happen in Delaware and nationally during the upcoming election cycles. I’ll start.  Looks like we’re gonna have a Carper proxy vs. a Biden proxy in the D gubernatorial primary:  John Carney (Carper) vs. Tom Gordon (Biden).  Word on the street is that Gordon […]

Rude Obnoxious Christie-wannabe running for Governor

Sen. Colin Bonini (R-17RD), having won reelection yesterday essentially unopposed, has announced that he is running for Governor in 2016, as was speculated here earlier this week. Indeed, it fits into Colin’s practice of running for higher office during the off year between his Senate elections.

And thus the musical chair game begins.
