Thanks for reporting on this. It's very helpful information and a snapshot into grass roots democracy in action.

This IS a snapshot into grass roots democracy. Those three words win elections: Grass roots democracy. Thank you for always adding clarity and intelligence.

Absolutely stellar coverage of the seminar! Barker's point about the ICE resolution being political theater rather than practical policy really cuts thru the noise. Back home we've seen how these distraction tactics work to divert attention from actual funding issues. Its telling that 270 million in voucher money is unaccounted for while charter schools demand co-location on our dime.

Well, thank you so much, Neural. I thought Barker's words were so to the point, that I didn't want to paraphrase. I think we're going to see some charges against the players who 'lost' those millions of dollars.

I really appreciate your detailed information from this meeting as I had a hard time writing all the information down. Now I can review this article and make some calls. I really appreciate you keeping us informed in such detail. With information provided we are able to make some calls to help make a difference.

I really appreciate you, Jamie. We're going to have to hug this out at the next school board meeting!
