We have a son that plays for one of the schools. I'm very interested in men's basketball.

Charles Clark

He has very good experience in independent schools, Catholic elementary schools and a lot of experience and enthusiasm and natural talent.

Mary Burns

I'm going to start visiting some of those schools and narrow it down. I'm still up in the air.

Andrew Didonato

There's a part of me that says maybe I'm just a bit too outspoken for public schools. Maybe I need to find a school that's a better match.

Wendy Devore

It's important for us to work at improving schools with the end in mind: Where do we want our students to be?

Ronald Miller

I don't think anybody can say that this is an absolute, but schools cannot rely on not preparing. When a child comes to our door with their parents to register, we cannot turn them away.

Superintendent Mary Fasbender

Reading applications this year, I bet we've found 50 high schools at least that ranked a year ago that aren't ranking now.

James Sumner

In order to honour the anniversary, we wanted to do something huge. We decided to try to get schools right across Canada to participate at the same time in an event.

Paul Goldstein

I think it's a difficult day that we have to close schools under these circumstances. We need a plan of action to go forward.

Darlene Fisher

We either increase the cost to the schools, or spend less time on the roads.

Christopher Williams

It's a very competitive sports market. You need to position your product in the most attractive way. We're on the hook to pay out almost $6 million to these schools.

Jim Mcvay

Los Angeles Unified has quickly become the nationwide leader in promoting innovative public school options like charter schools to tackle the challenges of low student achievement and over-crowding. The school district is to be commended for supporting high-quality charter schools for the many families that continue to demand them.

Caprice Young

We've been very impressed by the creative steps he's taken here in St. Petersburg to try to make a difference in the quality of public schools.

Clifford Johnson

It is a special feat to win both. I would imagine if you looked at most of the schools that have done it, they pretty much have a lot of athletes playing both sports.

Corey Gadson

(Gilbert Classical Academy) looks similar and that's good. There are waiting lists for all three schools. It's a proven commodity.

Daniel Scoggin

There are significant portions of the state that are not being served. Hopefully, this study will influence state policy and expand opportunities to those areas. Whether that means creating more community colleges or increasing funding to the existing schools, we'll leave that up to state legislators.

Ron Cowell

When the taxpayers are burdened, you hear about the property tax rate and not the programs the schools are providing.

Frank Belluscio

We realize our work is far from over. Even when we see impressive overall performance, we know that the average often includes some sub-par schools. We must continue to work even harder to uphold the charter model of excellence and accountability to improve them or weed them out. It must be about quality for our kids.

Nelson Smith

There's nothing much you can say. Guys want to leave schools and are attracted to shoes and other stuff.

Daniel Hackett

We think that it's time for a moratorium on new charter schools so that we have an opportunity to take stock to see how those charter schools that have been in existence fare.

David Ernst

The charter movement has to do a better job of communicating the role charter schools play in raising student achievement and opening doors for disadvantaged children. Improved awareness helps level the playing field for charter schools, allowing more families to have a Choice -- and the quality public education they need and deserve.

Nelson Smith

The municipal side will take the hit because of the schools.

Gary Tedeschi

The transportation network can't handle these schools.

Welton Cadwell

It'll be the same schools until I go out again this summer.

Tim Jarmusz

Having them (Planned Parenthood) handle sex-ed programs in public schools is not a wise investment for our tax investors.

Sen Gary Nodler

These are blind curves on a chip and seal road and we have children and schools buses there's no reason the Shawnee County Commission should have granted the permit.

Kurt James

The quality of life is so high in our area. We have a lot of good things that people like for their neighborhoods ? which include relatively low crime, good schools, beautiful surroundings and we don't tax retirement. As a result, our neighbors in Maryland are moving up here.

Michael Christopher

We're looking at schools. The locations would not be in the same building as the people, but within walking distance. We would use pre-existing buildings with [animal] crates.

Frank Branchini

The institutions the students designated to get score reports have received notice, as well as their high schools.

Jennifer Topiel

There is growing concern about the quality of education available in our public schools especially for less fortunate New Yorkers, and there is also greater interest in choice. New York pays top dollar for what tends to be middle-of-the-pack performance ... and they are getting tired of it.

Matthew Maguire

Along with these new programs and the law school's new ability to connect meaningfully with the faculty and resources of University Park, this investment promises an exceptionally bright and long future for The Dickinson School of Law in Carlisle.

Philip Mcconnaughay

There's a lot to be proud of. Overall, public schools will see an increase; universities will see an increase. We have protected the social safety net, which is a tremendous goal given the economic times we face.

Greg Bird

There is a view that the promotion of greater influence of faith groups in running our schools could be detrimental to community cohesion and social cohesion.

Steve Sinnott

I'm not for two high schools. I think it's a one-high-school town.

Jim Gibbs

We would like to have closer competition not have to drive so far. I think everyone was pretty amazed last time when we ended up with those schools.

Jan Lowrey

It's easy to find kids who are good and everybody wants. What's difficult is to find a kid who's better than he appears and know to go after that kid. We used to go after 6-(foot)-4, 6-5 post men we knew the big schools wouldn't go after. We would get good athletes at the post position and we always had a lot guards.

Jerry Stone

Large schools tend to be anonymous places, places where teachers and students are little known to each other. The anonymity often breeds apathy or alienation; many kids fall through the cracks.

Thomas Toch

All of the libraries and schools that were devastated in the hurricane are suffering for the books that they need to get to children and I am very proud to be apart of this to restore it.

Chuck Leavell

They're role models for their schools. We've been coming here for 30 years. This campus is home to us.

Jeff Webb

There are undoubtedly schools that are very academically competitive, where an IQ test or similar could be part of the admission procedure, but I think these schools are in the minority.

Simon Lee

I think it's an avenue of educating children that just are not able to succeed in traditional home-school roles or in the public schools.

Lisa Carlton

We hired them to look at everything the School Board had, buildings, schools, everything. We wanted somebody from outside of Louisiana who could be totally objective.

Kris Mckoin

In most environments, [schools with bigger endowments] do better, including some of our closest peers.

Andrew Golden

Each year it has grown. The village, schools and businesses have been so great.

Don Jakeway

Some schools prospered at the expense of others. We called it the 'haves' and 'have-nots.' ... There was never a sense of equity in the school district.

Brian Riedlinger

When we have an opportunity to play the larger schools, they see the difference is just not there. Basketball is a home-and-road sport and, traditionally, the big schools have always played at home. Now when the smaller schools get them on a neutral court, the gap is not what the public perceives it to be.

Dana Altman

They can throw multiple post players in, keep coming at you with them. It's an advantage that not a lot of MAC schools have. Their post depth really provides an advantage.

Curt Miller

We did expect that and are aware of the school's limited facilities. Superintendent Norris has made this a priority and is addressing the situation. We anticipate we will have at least some of the issues involving the science labs resolved this fall.

Candace Millington

The schools of the country are its future in miniature.

Tehyi Hsieh

There's no way we can buy 60-plus portables. We can't build enough schools in a short period of time. I don't know what else we can do but lobby the legislators.

Pat Fagan

These folks are working on consistency across the schools in reading instruction.

Steve Russell

The next step is to recognize that public schools all across urban America are in serious crisis, and we need to enlist every educator who can help the children, in both public and private schools.

Clint Bolick

I've been very happy serving in a smaller school. It's a way of life for me. The interests of mine and the community have been the same. Rural schools have been my life. Montana is one of the most rural states. There's a need to educate every kid in the state.

John Mcneil

Basically, the food stamp caseload has gone up a lot. The biggest increase is in people who are not getting any kind of cash assistance but they need help with food. It's bus drivers and every once in a while someone from the military and people who have 10-month contracts with the schools and they are out of work two months in the summer.

Susan Gordon

I think they should do that. It just gives parents a way of knowing there's somebody dangerous in their neighborhood or around the schools or around the parks that are around their children. I think that's a great idea.

Donna Roberts

We really think that cooking is a life skill. Home ec is not really taught in the schools anymore, but it's important to learn the basics, the nuts and bolts of cooking, and be familiar with the kitchen.

Helen Defrance

People have been speaking out about how they are hurting financially, and we have to consider that. I don't want to see any scare tactics about how this is going to decimate the school system. Our budget won't cause any harm at all to the schools if they use their head.

Philip Pomposi

The momentous events of 1939-1945 will always be taught in schools, and rightly so, but children need to understand that German history did not end with the death of a dictator.

Ken Boston

When I got into the schools, I realized that students that weren't going to college had absolutely no support system.

Theresa Minutillo

We're already gearing up for freestyle wrestling. The more matches we can get in over the summer the more it'll help us to make up ground with the OCC schools.

Derek Oney

Maynard Ferguson loves doing this kind of stuff for high schools and colleges. He is a huge advocate of music education.

Andy Baker

Schools have to be viewed within communities as necessary services. Students are expected to attend, just as if that were their job.

Wayne Beatty

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.

John Lovell

You may not be able to hire Al Green, but local high schools and colleges might have a jazz band or a choir you can afford.

Suzanne Williamson

The State Board of Education has . . . constitutional authority to direct the public schools. I don't think there's anything more (basic) in that responsibility than curriculum.

Carol Lear

To me, Spring Valley is the program you compare yourself to. As far as the big schools, you measure yourself against Spring Valley.

Jim Sayre

I'm happy for the girls. They've earned it, and they deserve it. It's significant. People are starting to see we've got a pretty good group here. Look at our record (9-0) against 2A schools. People finally started to look at that.

Jason Sims

We were looking first to win (the state meet). We knew Orem would be good, and that Springville would be in there. And then we also wanted to do well against 5A schools. And so I scheduled every 5A school that I could get.

Larry Swim

When you build schools, it's not just about building shelter. There are a lot of design strategies that really help support student learning and achievement.

Ronald Bogle

Many feel we have too many lawyers already. ... In my view, new programs, new campuses and new schools should be primarily driven by demands of the marketplace and not by the demands of a potential student body.

Frank Bauer

I get used to it, ... One of the things I find is that schools and school boards get antsy about whether to have me there.

Chris Crutcher

Soda is the least-sold beverage in the schools. We will be able to replace whatever small portion we lose from soda through the sale of other drinks.

Paul Beckwith

The program actually kicked off a couple of weeks ago with our Teens Against Tobacco and Busted! groups in the schools and colleges. The schools each have a goal of collecting 250 pairs of shoes, and a couple of them are already close to the goal.

Leslie Wilson

Parents tell us they'd like help in determining what products are sold in schools, and we're listening.

Dawn Hudson

I guess you can say it's for the championship of the city. For us to play a team down the street is a big thing. It's a big rivalry for us because of the schools splitting and we want to prove to ourselves that we're better.

Veronica Wilson

Anything the court does that is controversial is going to be in danger as long as it's controversial. The reason why racial segregation in schools is not going to come back is not because all nine justices think Brown is right. It's because the country has accepted that it is right.

Michael Dorf

If you are willing to invest in small schools, you will have more productive students and end up saving money.

Arhan Ayalon

When I was young I had all the advantages. My father worked for Howard Hughes, we lived in Bel Air. I went to the best schools, and got the best girls. My intelligence quotient was well above average; and yet I could be a rebellious, troublesome punk who brought more than a little anxiety to my parents.

Jan Berry

There's a ham rig on the ISS, and the astronauts love talking to students when they pass over schools.

Frank Bauer

We used to play D.J. in high school. We went to neighboring high schools. He never got the best of us, though. I remind him of that every time I see him.

Cheron Thompson

I see our role as a complement, not an alternative to the public schools. We view ourselves as a partner, an extension. Our goal is to return the kids to the public schools as quickly as possible.

Kevin Myers

Many of the people in the legislature send their kids to private schools and I think they would defend them, defend the current system. I don't know that we've done enough research where we can defend this before the legislature or in court. If we're going to go this way we better have some facts to back our decision.

Blake Ress

Both schools have played quality competition. I'm very impressed with them. On the other side, we're getting better.

Matt Perkowski

It's a challenge because we're playing bigger schools, but we've been playing these schools for the past few years. It's nothing new for us.

Josh Liles

Some schools don't play their starters on special teams.

Anthony Henry

You often see that in inner-city schools where there's so much pressure on those educators to meet federal [adequate yearly progress] requirements ... it's about getting the lowest proficient kids to a proficient level, and they let their high-achieving kids slide back. I would salute Seattle.

William Sanders

Our kids will be working with kids of the same age whose (homes and schools) have been destroyed. Our kids bellyache about their Nikes. Down there, these kids have no shoes.

Steve Huff

I am on the record, and have been since becoming a board member, about funding vouchers at the expense of public schools. We have to fund schools equitably and adequately. I'm not interested in robbing Peter to pay Paul.

Lorraine O'donnell

General Clark is a great American, great leader, great Democrat and an even better friend. I'm proud to have him by my side on the trail and know that it will be a great boost to our campaign to build better schools, expand access to affordable health care, clean up our environment and restore integrity to Texas government.

Bob Gammage

He was suspended with pay, which is our legal obligation to do. As of (Thursday), Mr. McCormack has resigned from his position with the Dearborn Public Schools. That will officially take place at the Board of Education meeting on Monday.

David Mustonen

For schools like this, cooking fresh food every day would be impossible because the facilities we have got are set up to reheat food. It would be great if the government were to give us the money for a new kitchen, to make fresh food for 380 children each day, but I'm not so sure that is going to happen.

John Hicks

The Law School's circuitous effort to use their students as a kind of way of expressing the school's disapproval of 'don't ask, don't tell,' is not a sound pedagogical practice. I think [Monday's decision] is the right decision, and so I'm very pleased. I think that it reaffirms the right of the government to condition its money on compliance with governmental policies.

Peter Schuck

A lot of schools just pounced on me the past couple of weeks. But Tech pretty much told me I'd be their guy.

Baron Batch

The driving factors for closings include utilization, age and maintainability. And sometimes it's geography. If a lot of people are moving around at a certain point of time, it definitely affects schools.

Shawn Dennis

The golf courses and schools already use nitrogen as fertilizer so building this line would serve a dual purpose.

George Crombie

We go to schools, nursing homes, day care centers, really all throughout the state.

John Lindsey

We conceived of it as a response to the fact that evolution was not being taught in schools and that museums now have to take up the banner.

Judy Diamond

All those grandmothers remember the war and when they see footage on television of schools that are being blown up and roofs collapsing they understand how important it is just to be safe.

Yaroslav Romanchuk

We haven't put a lot of interest in trying to win the meet in the past because we have a lot of schools in Ohio. So we try and give them the chance to perform, but this year we're going all out. We're going to win the meet.

Russ Rogers

It was a beautiful area. We got more of a rural feel. Their elementary and middle schools were just beautiful.

Jan Jensen

There is a substantial change sweeping the country and the way in which business schools are responding to it. It used to be that your average MBA was an engineer who found engineering was more fun in school than in the field. He or she came to business school to make a career change.

Jim Fisher

I would like to see something being done in the schools (to fight the problem).

Dan Wyman

We try not to think about next year that much. We want to focus on this year. But we're definitely putting it in the back of our minds the schools that beat us by double digits or 35 points.

Joy Hollingsworth

You can sit in the office all day long and get the work done, but what this district needs is someone who's out at the schools, out in the community and really knows the students.

Michael Green

We've been going and visiting schools, and we have either met at, or plan to meet at, every elementary school. We're inviting people to give us ideas, and to address the enrollment issues. It's a very open process.

Kirk Trost

We don't strive to achieve the ranking. I think the values that we hold, and the way in which we deliver the education are modeled after some of the best things that some of the elite private schools have done.

Barbara Dixon

We have to push this (test scores) up so it has the same increase as middle schools and elementary schools.

Ralph Teran

Some of our schools are more full than others, so you can't always place them at their neighborhood school.

Tim Mcgillivray

Many schools are moving toward using aqua turf [instead of grass] because of that.

Amanda Peloso

Overall, we're very pleased with Dale's accomplishments at the schools as it relates to facility developments and curriculum.

Paul Engels

We would love to equal what the girls have done [this season]. I believe other schools have done it.

Alvin James

We want to get out there with the business, home owners associations, schools and residents to find out what their needs are. We also want to express to them ours.

Jim Keith

The mind-set on the team is that everyone shoots for us. But I'm sure around the county there are a lot of schools doubting us, and that's fine. We can win it again.

Scott Dicesare

If business schools offer graduate programs, the level deployment of academically qualified faculty increases.

Jerry Trapnell

When you're playing Catholic or Sacred Heart, it really eliminates your chances. It really depends on the draw in the state tournament. You're not going to beat the private schools. They have more talent than the other schools do.

Howard Beth

Frank O'Reilly ran for the School Board as a Republican and saying that he would increase taxes to improve the schools, and he was elected.

Allen Sale

I think the schools themselves, Cass and King, put more emphasis on it. To me it is a good game against a well-coached team who is going to come after you. You're highly motivated but it does not make me go into overdrive to coach. It does not compare to coaching in the Michigan high school semifinals. But it is a very good rivalry.

Robert Shannon

I'm very concerned with the impacts of all the growth on our roads and our schools, and the increased crime in our neighborhoods. All those thefts and other property crimes are occurring in pockets around the entire city.

Suzette Cooke

You can't do effective economic development if you don't have a great schools system.

Jim Newberry

It's looking very positive for bowling to be accepted and that's wonderful. This is the fastest-growing high school sport according to OHSAA and they're impressed with the number of schools. It looks very positive they'll vote yes.

Julie Wells

First, we will teach them between nine and 12 months, both in residential and non-residential camps before moving them to middle schools.

Pradeep Kumar

It's not that I want to break down the public schools, ... I want to improve them for every child, but my children needed to be educated right now.

Margaret Young

I'm pretty ecstatic about it. It helped having some bigger schools there for competition, and Regina played really well, too. It was a perfect day for golf, though that tournament is notorious for bad weather. The course really played well for them -- flat and open. They're used to a tight course at Macbride.

Ken Beck

The state should be able to say, 'If we're going to pay for this school and build these schools, you've got the responsibility to make sure you deliver sites that are appropriate.'

David Sciarra

We set up a $100 million grant program that districts could apply for, ... Teachers could apply for $3,000 in extra pay if they would teach in chronically low-performing schools. It was an incentive to get good teachers into tough schools. It was a pretty good reform bill that just didn't pass, but we made progress as we went along.

Tommy Williams

It's a tragedy that public schools continue to sell soda to our children for money. They should be the one place that should remain free from intense marketing from the soda and junk food companies.

Harold Goldstein

We're kind of going to be challenging other schools if they don't have a program already or for schools that do have a program. Generally, competition between schools is a good driver.

Lindsay Killian

Schools we don't hit this year, we'll start with next year.

Carol Davis

Overall they had been doing very well, especially as they've been around longer the students continue to do better. They are finding that the students who have a long-term commitment to charter schools are showing improvement, especially in the ISTEP.

Barbara Downey

This summit is necessary to shape policy and help us. We need to know what you see and experience everyday in the community, in the schools and in your neighborhoods. This is a way to help us better coordinate city services.

Ludwig P. Gaines

The number one reason I write is to come to schools and see my readers. I would do it for free.

Frank Murphy

We had an excellent effort last night and we didn't have that tonight. Anytime we have to play DAC-10 (Dakota Athletic Conference) schools, we know we have to be at the top of our game.

Randy Jordan

They were moving and articulate; what was really impressive was having students talk about how great it is to have people they can talk to in their schools. It was very cool.

Stephanie Hall

This is something that's just come about. It's an honor, and this can only help our schools that she's been appointed. It is quite an honor and great for us for her to serve.

Mike Riley

We made it clear we need to get our schools ready to resume classes.

Roy Knight

Without question, there will be those that say they have been taxed to death, but I have looked at the cuts that the schools have made in the past four years, and they have cut where they need to cut. But the failure of this levy will only weaken the school system.

Jim Walters

We're certainly aware of the rankings. It's a tough region. We're in there with some very tough schools, and it's subjective.

Sandy Hoddinott

It is a mistake to treat the dropout problem as a fundamentally different kind of problem than other problems in our schools - it's a different symptom of the same disease.

Jay Greene

I was shocked. I never dreamed of this. I can't imagine closing this place. What are the schools going to do? All these kids sell Krispy Kremes for fund-raising.

Bob Coleman

That's the gauntlet right there. The schedule isn't easy for us either. We have to play both Turlock schools in Turlock this year.

Dennis Stubbs

Each coach on our staff will visit between 90-100 schools during the next four weeks as well as various combines located in our recruiting areas.

Greg Peterson

This approval allows us to bring housing and schools to Mesa Del Sol and it is what New Mexico needs to attract good jobs.

Mike Daly

When you divide 2,500 by three days a week and eight schools, it starts to evaporate pretty quickly.

Theresa Hamilton

These are children whom this nation does not truly value and of whom, despite our president's rhetoric of 'high expectations,' we in fact expect so little that we will not let them go to the same schools our [white] children attend. The kind of schooling that we give to children is the most important determinant of their future options in life.

Jonathan Kozol

Sex-oriented clubs have no place in our school system, gay or straight. They are disrespectful and disruptive to our educational process.... We need to take a step back from this and take control of our schools.

Jim Shuping

Our primary focus was to help the teachers and students in the makeshift schools in Hancock County.

Maggie Winz

We are real careful about equity. We try to upgrade other schools at the same time. We may hold off if we can't do it at all schools.

Richard Wilkinson

With our proposed rates, NIU will still be below what all the MAC schools are proposing for this current year.

Michael Stang

It was a good feeling. It gets your mind off things, and it's interesting to see how kids feel. And when you come back home, you want to visit some of their schools to talk about it.

John Bowman

Laurie went to three different high schools. And somehow, she was valedictorian.

Robert Sams

In theory, you want to put the defibrillators in places like senior centers where there are more cardiac arrests. Instead, we saw more defibrillators in schools. This practice may not be maximizing the numbers of lives that could be saved.

Peter Cram

The majority of the parents were not interested or real excited about having their child change schools, but that's going to happen with any boundary line recommendations. Their concerns all were legitimate but were personal needs and issues. I feel their questions were answered very thoroughly.

Jim Vaughan

None of the money will be used to operate the schools.

Robin Gibson

I am not against Muslim schools. But as I believe in integration, I think we would be better off overall if we did not have denominational schools at all.

Frank Dobson

I'm glad they've been able to pull together after consolidation. It seems like they have good teachers at both middle schools.

Jason Adams

We want to offer more programs that will attract students to Milwaukee Public Schools.

Tom Balistreri

Good schools make good neighborhoods. It's a place where people want to be.

Nat Roberts

Other schools would have offered him. Once BYU got in the picture, other people wanted to trip him. Especially with the neighbor island kids, if UH doesn't get out, then the other schools are less apt to come out.

Bob Wagner

I think this has hurt the Class S schools.

Jason Harlow

To achieve the highest ranking in the school's history is something the entire USD community can take pride in.

Rich Hill

Everything ages, and with other schools, their facilities and the things they can offer their students (are up to date). We need to have the most up-to-date offerings as well.

Jennifer Clarke

While the state provides a critical base of support for the Medical School, this gift will allow us to do more with what the state contributes. It is not a replacement, but an enhancement that will further strengthen the breadth and depth of the Medical School's programs.

Harvey Jewett

We want to try to be as balanced as we can offensively, run and pass. We don't have the one guy that a lot of schools might have. We'll do it as a team, do it by committee. A lot of guys will get to carry and catch the ball.

Justin Higgins

You have to have a president that is willing to walk away from gifts that aren't in line with what the school's needs are. That's really difficult, especially for schools that struggle to get cash.

Frank Hayes

The demand for charter schools is growing. If we are to continue to close the achievement gap in this country and create real opportunity for children, caps on charter schools must be lifted now.

Nelson Smith

It's a shame that schools like Princeton aren't taking the lead because they're too concerned about what they are going to find. They are the top schools that would need to use it because as the prestige of the institution increases so does the amount of cheating.

John Barrie

If he's paying attention and he's serious, he won't leave the state. There is one issue in Texas today, and that is public schools.

Kelly Fero

You need to have both schools on the books at the same time.

Stephanie Kraft

Scott has been an incredible athlete for Hurley High School. He holds all of Hurley school's lifting records. He's been training since the eighth grade.

Greg Rigoni

This will interest a lot of schools.

Cheryl Morris

We don't think this is the definitive answer on this issue, but I do hope that it would put the brakes on -- at least in people's minds -- about this rush to privately run schools.

Chris Lubienski

We finally get the chance to play in our gym a little bit. It's really different, really strange. I've never been through a schedule like that. That's what happens when we don't have the ability to play a lot of home games, like some other schools.

Dereck Whittenburg

It's very important that parents get involved if their children are involved in athletics, band, pep squad or something of that nature. It's very important for the parents to become involved because the fundraising activities and booster club activities are basically the way that most schools pay for those (transportation) expenses.

Butch Williams

I have the greatest respect and admiration for both UA and Purdue. I really like the schools, the teams and the coaches. I really believe it's going to be a terrific game.

Jim Young

Those numbers are outrageous, ... We need to let the Department of Education know that we need funds to support preventive programs. It's always the same schools that apply and receive funding. Well, that's going to end. Local schools will receive federal money to be spent on these needed programs.

Joe Baca

When you spend $27,000 to send your child to Kingswood-Oxford, you are sending them for one reason only - to prepare them for the next level of education. That's it. So, our expectation is that our children have to compete for the same spots at the same schools.

Stephen Perry

I think the state dropped the ball on this one. Those schools should be put in their own group. But I'm not going to complain too loud. It is what it is and as a coach I'm looking forward to the challenge if we get there.

Rocco Sansone

It's an issue everywhere. There has been a cutback in fast-food advertisements for children and schools are starting to remove soda from the machines and replace it with things like Gatorade.

Danielle Lee

The solution needs to be much more comprehensive than the schools.

Harold Goldstein

It has to be for the right things, ... And what we're talking about in this election are some new schools to deal with overcrowding, safety and security. That's what the (SEDCO) board was supporting.

John Boswell

You say the words 'Ivy League' to people and everyone's heard of it. It's become synonymous with great colleges. We tried to answer the question, 'What is the Ivy League?' in a free-flowing format. We think the Ivy League schools have a rich history and there's a connection between all of them.

Chris Mason

When I came here there was just a handful of people in the stands at games. This year's Purple Growl game (the school's winter homecoming, which drew more than 4,000) was incredible, though. It's awesome to see the change.

Robbie Freeman

Community in Schools is an outstanding program. The students want to be there and are willing to do what it takes. They know they have challenges, and they deal with them.

Peter Farrell

He won that event also. There were a lot more schools that day. There were schools from Connecticut and New York at that meet.

Joe Bienasz

Right now, the career and technology schools are it.

Nick Kovacic

Schools are closed, people are on vacation and returns are being done. This means store credits or cash to burn.

Mark Friedman

Just overall I felt that of all the schools I had recruiting me, they were recruiting me the hardest, ... I want to help with the rebuilding process they have going on with the basketball program. It was a hard decision, but of the schools that were recruiting me hard, I felt like they wanted me the most.

Matthew Parker

It's something people don't think can be done, and obviously it can be done. [Bennett] is able to move schools to achieve goals they're not sure they can do.

Dan Kaiser

They were looking for more equity within a district and we decided to survey the schools. Some people said they were playing in a district with schools twice our size and some of the games weren't competitive.

Charles Breithaupt

It's not like a factory anymore. One-size-fits-all schools don't work. ... Schools are being built with a variety of spaces that meet the needs of individual learners.

Jeffery Lackney

I understand that four classes give more schools an opportunity to be champions, but I think the more you add, the more you water it down. If four is good, 10 might be better. And pretty soon it doesn't have that much meaning.

Gordie Kerkman

Drugs and alcohol have infested our schools and threaten our children and their ability to learn and develop their talents.

Joseph Califano

Working with Wood County Schools is nothing new, but working on this scale is certainly new to us and something to be excited about. This is a win for DuPont, it is a win for the students, and we view this as a very positive and exciting development and partnership.

Robin Ollis

I've only been at two schools, Colonel Crawford and Galion, and the kids have been great.

Dan Gorbett

When many of the schools in the school district were first built, they were not done with the highest quality materials or systems.

Bill Hirsh

It appears that we have a number of people who are not obeying the speed zones around schools, and so it's significant enough that we need to do something.

Greg Wyman

We need new classrooms in places, notably in Los Angeles, where the civic disgrace of overcrowded schools must be dealt with.

Alan Bersin

This gives the legislature the opportunity to make necessary changes this year ... changes that allow schools to ensure the health of students without providing unnecessary barriers to the educational process.

Sherri Johnson

It gives us a metric to work with. Every part of the city would have some schools closed.

Michael Debell

Mr. Weld knows less about solving strikes than he does about running trade schools.
