FameRank: 3

"Richard Hartley" is a British composer.

His work is extensive and varied, including musical arrangement for theatre and many scores for television and film. In the 1970s he began a long association with Richard O'Brien. Hartley was originally part of the four-piece band for the Rocky Horror Show. He went on to arrange the score for the London Stage show. He then went on to provide arrangements for the film adaptation, The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) and its follow-up Shock Treatment (1981), and worked with O'Brien on another, as yet unproduced, sequel, Revenge of the Old Queen. His other 1970s film scores included The Romantic Englishwoman (1975), Aces High (film)/Aces High (1976), and the remake of The Lady Vanishes (1979 film)/The Lady Vanishes (1979).

Money for schools is given through tax money. Every year there is a plan of what revenue is expected. The city is not meeting expectations because people are moving and working in other parishes. Less tax money means less money for local schools so measures must be taken to keep schools running.

It was a productive meeting. The group agreed to submit suggestions regarding the closing/consolidation of schools, but they know it's pretty much done.

We've got to develop a plan on what we'll do when the mill closes. We can't bury our head in the sand and pretend like it's not going to happen.

Previously, I wouldn't have given us a good grade at all. But since we have (business manager Renee Hinton) in place, we're doing a much better job. I don't know if I'd give us a letter grade.

What we're finding out is (restructuring) will have very little impact on those numbers.

We had obviously hoped the judge would accept our agreement with the government. Dr. Fisk is disappointed the judge didn't adopt that recommendation. On the other hand, he appreciates the fact that the court said a sentence within the guideline range was inappropriate.

I would love to keep every school open, but the reality is you can't keep entire schools open for a few students. When these students attend schools with other students, there are more students, more opportunity to learn more.

When the paper mill closes, the parish will lose more money because people will move or work in other parishes, and less tax money will stay in the parish--which means the schools will lose money coming to them. Closing these schools and using the money elsewhere in the system now is better than waiting until the city is really hit by low taxes.
