I find it interesting that our board brings in "independent auditors" to review policies and procedures, but then selectively ignores the ones they do not want to hear. How long do we wait for change that has been outlined and recommended? I also hope you are a part of the community committee regarding transfer policies in this district. Keep up the good work.

Maybe "filibustering." Regarding your 12:40 update, are you by any chance on the transfer committee? I certainly hope so. There's nothing on the district's website about the make-up of the committee. Why does that not surprise me? News that matters is rarely reported by the PPS PR folks. Excellent post, Steve! “Stonewalling” is another name for the lack of visible progress toward school equity.
