Yesterday a reader wrote to ask, “How can we work to save all these wonderful schools?” This was a fantastic question, and it reminded me that I had been meaning to write something like this for a few days now. Now that the public meetings concerning the demographer’s report are over, what can now be [...]
In this concluding section, the panel received several questions concerning the guidelines and methodology that the board gave them as they began to develop their recommendations. In the past, this has been the type of question that Richardson, Wilson and Moore have ignored. As such, I’m convinced that there is much more to the directions [...]

Once when the girl was still not quite three and the boy was happiest in his car seat carrier, we were traveling from Georgia and stopped at McDonald’s.
