Coffins Education Center: Creating Self-Governing Independent Public Schools |
Our public schools must be given the choice of becoming self-governing so that they can be free to provide a top quality educational system. A self-governing public school district is free of state control as well as federal intervention. Therefore, it would be independent of the state system but remain a public school district serving the same local community rather than a charter school or a private school or a school run in full or in part by a private company. While public school districts could elect to stay within the state system and continue to abide by all mandates, all districts should be given the opportunity to legally opt out. The ability to opt for self-governance would be supported by legislation. http://www.coffinseducationcenter.com/?p=57

Last night at the planning board meeting, I had the pleasure of witnessing small-town America at its finest. It is always spectacular to realize we live in a society where everyone can stand and voice their opinion, whether concurring or dissenting, without fear of retribution. (Let me state that I am 90% for the project.) I am not completely sold on the project in its entirety, but agree with most of the planning. I thank the Planning Board for the dedication to the job and pray that they complete exhaustive research before deciding on an outcome - possibly approval with some conditions.) God Bless America!
Unfortunately, my evening ended on a sour note. As a resident and fellow volunteer firefighter and I were standing outside the Community Center discussing the evening's events, we were approached by my colleague's neighbor. At first, I thought her verbal assaults were in jest, but quickly realized she was deadly serious.
