We happen to believe in the product that Habitat brings to the community.

My sense is that we probably will refine the criteria on which we base a 1,000-foot buffer, ... The one thing we've undertaken quickly is we have a map that would show what a 1,000-foot buffer looks like around our schools.

It's to enhance pressures during areas of peak demand.

It's currently a surplus asset in the community. Randolph has always embraced its public. We'll want to have a meeting and consider all options.

I did commit to Paul that I would be in touch with him next year before we reopen discussion.

They heard loud and clear. There was just no way in getting around the sentiment that the project was not welcome there.

Habitat said from the onset that they're very hesitant to try to forge forward on a project that is not well received by the neighborhood.

The ACT, I think, is a better test for students who are what I call applied learners, ... The ACT gives them information, and asks them questions about it, and asks them to do something with it rather than just regurgitating information. If they just do a couple of points better (on one) than the other, sometimes it's worth their while.

We're going forward with these projects.
