Hey, I'm passing this along in case people in other parts of the state want to help out with this school situation.

They might not have heard of it, and I figure the more areas that hear opposition , the better! I know of people in Cherokee and Coweta counties that are sending this to their representatives.

With all the hoopla right now about the schools here in Fayette County and, of course, our neighboring county, I got to thinking about school governance and, what some of you call, our "government schools" system. It is really taking a beating these days and our representatives don't seem to be too concerned about that fact. Oh, we get alot of lip service, around election time, but we keep electing the same old guys to drive up to Atlanta, and represent the interests that are driving the educational systems downward.

With all the hoopla ongoing between the two Democratic candidates regarding the race issue, and now the somewhat implied racially toned issues facing us locally because of the imminent loss of accredidation of the Clayton County Schools, I submit that the issue is one of culturalism not race.

Does anyone know the story of why the police were out searching today by helicopter and K-9 unit today around Hip Pocket

I agree that if Clayton County can't take care of their own problems, then the State definitely needs to step in and take over.

Here is a good source “Government Resources” and to you can see “House of Representatives” and “Senate” at work for you.

I agree with most of the opinions posted in this forum, however, I do feel that part of the reason clayton county is in such disarray is, because for the last 20 years there has been a continous exodus on the part of a segment of society who does not wish to get along with other segments of society.

Front-page article in AJC on SB 458 doesn't mention the Fayette angle, but it does shed a little light on the broader context.

Check out Senator Ronnie Chance's voting record at http://www.votesmart.org/voting_category.php?can_id=31979.

He sponsored the Special Needs Scholarship Act which is a private school voucher system that has public school money paying for private school tuition. That's less money for Fayette County Schools.

For those of you who seem frightened by Clayton County's school decertification, forget about it.

The threat is a farce and will not happen. A report will be made of all the paperwork they plan to do to keep accreditation and that will be accepted by the state. Of course the big plans won't happen.

Obama: Not a Crackpot Church

Typical-
By Cal Thomas - Tuesday, March 25, 2008

Be aware!! Received an email notification that an amendment to this bill has been introduced in the state legislature that requires local school systems to accept students from an outside district whose school systems fails to meet accreditation standards.

Funny, and so true!

I know several of you great bloggers, and hope you can help me. I am looking to have concrete work done, and am looking for a reliable person or company.

I AM.

Yep, there’s B-Ho’s smiling mug on the home page of the New Black Panther Party (NBPP)

Chris Venice, Town manager is quoted in this newspaper that “the Council gave its approval to have the soil at nearby Shamrock Park tested … for septic drain lines.” However, if you check the Council Agenda’s and Minutes that are available for the “citizens” to see there is no mention of this subject or the council approval.

Christians believe that Jesus literally rose from the dead. We celebrate Easter because of our belief in this event and its significance for human history.

ATLANTA: 3 Sentenced in Wedding Ring Thefts

Since Barney left and they gave Thelma Lou a book on etiquette, I hoped things would be better in Tyrone. THEY AIN’T. I for one, thought the speed traps would come down. We have only grown more 25/35 mph signs on roads with no side walks and a few lonesome cows you might endanger going a tremendous 40! We have the highest taxes in the county and the only thing to show for it is more police per taxpayer than anywhere else. We must have 4 for every 10 of us.

I must apologize at the start for the somewhat rambling nature of this blog. I will eventually get to the point, but have to set the context first.
