Congratulations to starrs mill, fayette middle and bennett's mill on having strong women of color in charge. Its good to see the new personell director, who is yet another women of color, is finding the right people to lead these schools.

These fine schools join in with north fayette, east fayette, hood avenue, flat rock and others as schools with diverse principals!

The schools in Fayette County represent the new south. The diversity in staff and students is 'real'. Parent support - by being involved in the school; helping and supporting teachers by checking homework, etc.; these are some of the important elements found in a successful school. The other important elements for a successful school are knowledgeable administration; outstanding teachers; and a supportive community that partners with the school.

Your writing skills and rantings expose much about your limited intelligence levels. I think we're starting to get the picture as to how ignorant you truly are. You have the IQ and the cognizant skills of a "Trailer Dwelling White Trash KKK Member".

Go Away!
