It creates an incentive (for teachers) to move away from the most challenging schools, the most challenging kids. And it sends a signal to people looking at the profession that this is a profession where excellence is not rewarded.

Andrew Rotherham

I was pleased that the Supreme Court did not rule our schools were inadequately funded. Adequacy is a highly subjective assessment. The best way to judge an adequate education is to let the parents decide--give them the right to choose their child's school.

Don Mcleroy

Now these schools can bring the mobile computer carts from classroom to classroom, giving more students access to technology and information. This donation is an example of how a global company like Dell can help enable local benefits to customers and communities. We encourage other companies and organizations to help us revitalize these schools by donating any products or services they can.

Karen Bruett

But we really do. If you go into the schools, you can see they're overcrowded. If you walk into the hallways, you can see they're overcrowded. The county is not shrinking. They're (community members) not moving out. They're moving in and having kids.

Patricia Bell

Their undefeated record speaks for itself. There's a great rivalry between the schools, and our kids are excited.

Jim Harte

It's tough to be competitive against schools that are really established.

Carrie Bordas

People have a knee-jerk reaction when they hear that. They say I'm blaming the victims. I'm not blaming the victims, but I am saying that they are the ones who have the problem. Bullies don't have the problem. They aren't the ones committing suicide and shooting up schools. Those are the victims, and those are the ones whose behavior we need to change.

Izzy Kalman

We've been impressed and proud of the schools and students who have responded graciously and generously. Many students have spent their own lunch money and hard-earned savings to give to the victims of the storm.

Nat Harrington

My concerns have been and continue to be more from a standpoint of addressing those broader issues around infrastructure - roads, schools, fire and emergency. We've made some inroads in those areas, but we have a lot more work to do to get to where I'll feel comfortable saying we've made some progress.

Wendell Coleman

I like to compete, and I just wanted a chance. That was still here. I just kept in contact with Oregon State. I told them where I was going to be at. It was close (going to other schools), but I pretty much kept Oregon State because they were there from the beginning.

Clinton Polk

We're always encouraging our schools to do anything they can to help families keep the costs down. We're always encouraging them to market themselves. It's a benefit.

Donna Farrell

Pre-K is gradually being integrated into the K-12 education system nationwide. In a state that has so many great universities like Purdue, Indiana and Notre Dame, it's a shame (Indiana) won't do more to ensure its own children are better prepared to enter those schools with high quality pre-K.

Libby Doggett

It will take some time for many schools (to adapt). But the way things are going, I think most schools will have to expand their (online) programs.

Sharon Stark

At first, we'll be centered toward children ages 9 to 18, and some college kids. We hope some high school students will get hooked and go off to big film schools.

Brian Sky

Bob has done a magnificent job. But we struggle with a finite number of resources. We need to eliminate the D.A.R.E. program and shift Bob to the middle schools.

Jim Montgomery

It's always a thrill to beat the public schools, just to prove them wrong.

Scott Ashley

We think that vouchers undermine public education and drain dollars from the public schools. They also create double standards of accountability. Public schools are accountable to the public. Private schools are not.

Mark Egan

Catholic Schools Week helps us to look at ourselves to see how well we're really doing with everything. We take a second look back and then look forward to getting the word out to people that a Catholic education is a good investment in their child's future.

Kathleen Shea

This is about graduation. Our schools are graduating at a better rate than anyone else in the country.

Rick Chryst

Schools without Fear; Group Activities for Building Community.

Judy Brown

I don't think Carver High School will be closed next year. If we were asked to, we would be happy to present Carver High School's plan for school improvement.

Brandon Martin

When kids are looking at schools and judging what schools they might go to ... it's sort of a competing thing for schools to get students.

Barry Brown

The networking aspects of the group are important, because business is all about networking. By working with other schools we are able to meet other students who will one day be our peers in the business world.

Kerri Coletta

It's good in terms of numbers and it's bad in terms of trying to choose teams. It's great for the program ... I guess for most schools it would be a good problem to have.

Colleen Parker

There are excellent public schools (in Las Vegas) and it is no secret that the public schools in wealthier neighborhoods have newer, better equipment.

Michael Green

The transition was good compared to New York because the inner city schools were so jam-packed. I felt it was a good decision for me to come here.

Demetrius Porter

It may cut the after-school program for the middle schools in January. But we are hoping that the community will step up and help keep it going.

Judy Rubin

In parts of the state, they think we are too pro-labor. That would be like accusing the business schools of being too pro-business.

Ruth Needleman

Using the trailers as schools would make the most sense.

Kyle Downey

We donate the books and tapes to different learning centers and schools.

Matthew Gundick

We are at a disadvantage to the larger high schools. At times, I feel like we really haven't been completely prepared for college.

Katherine Brown

We hope the city defendants, especially Mayor Wilder, will use this as an opportunity to take the lead show leadership do what needs to be done to fix the schools and make them accessible to all people with disabilities.

David Hopper

Right now, we are focused on Mendenhall and Meadows elementary schools. We also have a group of sixth-grade students at Armstrong Middle School.

Katie Kabage

The arts and music in schools is very important these days when so much on television has nothing to do with the fine arts. These kind of programs really broaden the horizon of our students and is better than having them just sitting in front of the TV.

William Johnson

Academic research is supposed to be peer-reviewed, with the idea being that the best science wins out. But with earmarks, quality has nothing to do with it. Schools get research funds simply because they are in a powerful member's district or have the money to hire a lobbyist.

James Savage

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.

Richard Hartley

The market is trying to get to grips with which of the two schools of thought is right.

Jane Foley

Your thefts, which are probably my biggest crime, then vandalism to cars or school desks or rooms. But what I call violent crimes like rape, murder, you don't see that inside our schools.

Larry Frazier

Last year, we had a pilot program in three schools. We really are so happy with it, we decided to invest in it. We take the protection of our children seriously.

Sheila Weiss

Taxpayers are paying for the schools, and the kids should have access.

Robert Houser

If you recruit a kid from one of those high schools and he visits, you'd better be able to show him something better than what he already has.

Tim Salem

It was only hardship if you didn't go to school. You went through it and you didn't realize what the other schools had so you just went and did your best.

Mary Randolph

What we do need to do though is look at what's working in public and chartered schools and start engaging different kinds of experts to integrate that policy into the public school system.

Jennifer Lawless

We talked about all of them. We took a look at which administrators were supportive of their athletic programs, which ones really make a difference in their schools.

Dave Mccaulley

There is clearly a third group out there now: Parents who feel they can do a better job than the public schools.

David Plank

(Music) is one of the things that always gets cut when schools face (financial) difficulties. When I was in school, we had instruments and uniforms and we had great budgets and we took trips and now it's wham! Everything is gone.

Michael Luxner

We get some really good indicators of where our students fall in regard to careers, and also other schools and students in their school in math, English, reading and science.

Todd Kolson

I don't see how it's equitable. We're putting more money into schools already completed when other schools aren't getting any.

Jeanette Woods

Most of the big money is spent [by schools] on hardware, and it costs us money to develop software.

Stephen Uden

This, of course, leads to all kinds of questions about the extent to which choices will increase stratification and gentrification, ... Choosing Schools.

Mark Schneider

Do we look out for the good of one or the good of the many? We have to do what is best for the schools.

Todd Alexander

We need lots of schools. It will help generations of children.

Julie Escobar

When I was coaching, the kids wanted to leave private schools for the public schools so they could get the best coaching, play the best competition. It's not that way anymore.

Dan Lewis

The children need to have representation in their schools. You're forgetting about black children, trying to find loopholes. I'm not a lawyer, but I know what's right and wrong. If it was the other way around, you'd be fussing.

Mack Willie Clark

You see they're more alive in their church in general and high schools and come back to their parishes and want to become more active and have a role in their parish and community and want to do more service and want to learn more about their faith.

Maria Perez

The field this weekend will be a strong field full of East Coast schools, some of which are very strong programs. We will need to play some very good golf to finish high in a field like this.

Donnie Darr

When I compared the two schools, here the faculty had a much stronger emphasis on environmental education. I'm very glad I picked here.

Yu Wang

The biggest difference this year was that we upped our competition throughout the year. We faced a combination of bigger schools and traditional powers.

Russ Mckenzie

I think we showed the parity in college basketball. There are a lot of great teams out there. It's leveled the playing field a little bit more. Hopefully, it will help some other schools who might not have gotten a chance to make the tournament otherwise.

Tim Burns

We have built some 33 shelter schools and other institutions, and we have distributed books, bags and uniforms.

Ghulamullah Azad

It would be a financial burden on the schools.

Dan Buron

It wasn't very long ago when very few schools would ever come through here. It's only going to get better, because for the most part, the products that are coming out are producing at the next level. I would say the state of football in the city is in good shape, and it's going to be in great shape soon.

Chris Faircloth

This program would raise the notch of education in Marion County. It would create a real competitiveness amongst students, amongst schools. It will be a real boon for this county.

Steve Hering

We'll try to do more mundane programming in the later hours at night and ask schools to set their VCRs. We don't want the channel to be deadly boring to the average person.

Judith Garcia

We deal with a lot of schools in that area. A lot of companies from down south send reps up a few times a year, but there is no one local to be loyal to.

Phil Luna

We owe the community a debt of gratitude for what it did for this school. This field is great now, and it puts us in a class of schools that have elite facilities.

Mike Dimatteo

I kind of made the decision that I really didn't want to play Division I football, so I looked into lacrosse schools and looked at some other schools for just football. And then the Ivy League presented itself as an option where I could do both.

Chas Gessner

We also want to make it clear that the majority of schools have welcomed us on campus.

Richard Lindsay

This is an area where we know if we build school cultures and communities of learning and we provide resources to attract teachers and retain them - and it's not only money, but money is one of those elements - if we provide excellent principals and terrific leadership at schools, students will benefit.

Alan Bersin

I tell my kids, no matter who's recruiting you, you make sure to visit one of the local schools. I'm always a believer that kids get this gleam in their eye about going far away. They need to have a place they can go back to.

Tony Severino

This will help our schools tremendously. Their budgets have been strained, and they have had to use reserve funds to be able to reopen schools while paperwork for insurance and FEMA is being processed.

Hank Bounds

All things become new again. It's the wave of the future for our district ---- at least for our next two schools.

Betti Cadmus

We think this is a win-win situation both for Arkansas schools in need of teachers and for displaced educators in need of a job until they are able to return to their homes.

Beverly Williams

Schools and districts wouldn't face any sanctions because of the lateness of the tests.

Ginger Reynolds

Schools are just going to have to decide which field trips are important to us. If they think all field trips are important they will have to cut back in other areas.

Christopher Williams

It targets parents and students who have no other alternative to put their children in good schools. I think the proposal is harder to oppose this time around.

Tracy Edge

We've made progress on every important measure but there is still a long way to go. The biggest struggle is in high schools where progress is the slowest.

Peter Cunningham

It's always been our intention since I got here to play with the big schools. We want to be with the toughest teams.

Jaime Grossman

There are many options being thrown around - some better than others - but the bottom line is we have to do something because number one, we simply don't have the room any more and number two, we have to bring these schools up to ADA standards.

Ray Fleming

Obviously, there are not enough Japanese children in each county in eastern North Carolina for all of us to have individual schools. Using a regional approach enables us to provide that degree of education so that when they're back in their country, they're even with all their classmates.

Wanda Yuhas

The children I talk to in schools now are four generations removed from the Holocaust. We are the last witnesses to it, and we have to transmit it to the responsibility of younger people. It's becoming more and more important.

Gerd Strauss

Family households often believe they have no choice but to move to the suburbs. They will only be attracted to communities that have food, schools, parks, child care facilities, services and community centers. These are the very households that make up most of the demand for urban sprawl.

Larry Beasley

Ten years ago, the average gangster wasn't involved with the Internet. Computers are everywhere now - in schools, libraries. It's not unusual for the hard-core gang member to be out all day and come home and play on the Internet at night.

Jared Lewis

We need food, fuel, medicine and schools.

Abdul Haq

You're still going to have 95 percent of your children in public schools, and that's what we've got to deal with. In the areas of the greatest need there are no choices in terms of private schools in many instances.

Bob Staton

There's a lot of remote-controlling going on. You have here all the people who don't want to expose their families to violence, kidnapping, bad schools, etc.

Joost Hiltermann

It gives them an opportunity to explore all aspects of the medical field so they can make an informed decision. There are visits to hospitals, clinical settings, research labs, public health agencies and medical schools. They find out what goes on with patient care, equipment and technology.

Cynthia Williams

This is why my center trains teachers. I believe all students should take at least one course of economics in their lives, and that all high schools should have an economics program.

Dr. Stephen Kaifa

This was a very successful conference for us because of the enormous interest among schools needing new facilities in our Aurora line.

Phil Hamilton

We know on their own no one will listen to them. That's what all this is about. It's going to make a better community, and make the schools better.

Tom Ziemann

This was a really good performance for us. This is one of the best tournaments of the season as far as small schools in the Midwest go, so I was pleased that we did so well.

Jim Koch

It is going to get harder for everybody. The targets will stay flat through 2007, but after that, they are going to go up dramatically. After that, it is going to be really hard for schools statewide to make it.

Bill Padia

We are always delighted to be in the company of the finest schools in the United States. We don't pay attention to the tiny ups and downs of the rankings year to year.

Gila Reinstein

It's becoming a burden on families now, and it can be a safety issue, especially if people are out at the schools from Friday night until Monday morning.

David Carpenter

County schools are not getting as good of technology because in the city, schools get to tap into the city fiber.

Curt Fuchs

The proposal is ready. I think (the lack of the team's success) is numbers. It's tough, especially going up against some of the Pittsburgh schools.

Steve Weiss

We hope that we will have some continuity for the decision-making process. What I envision is a tremendous amount of the design to come from the schools' staff. And taking staff, administrators and people from the community, and then taking members of the committee and injecting them into those committees.

Scot Mcneley

Something like this always starts people investigating and looking to see who else they can get, ... Even if you're OK legally, you have to hire lawyers, which takes money away from the school's mission of educating the students.

Alice Desouza

Our obligation is for the right budget for our schools.

Paul Gaffney

New, smart investments are a big part of making our schools successful.

Mark Usdane

I thought they (the board members) did an excellent job of making sure all four schools got something. I thought they handled it well.

Julie Robertson

We are hoping the schools will show significant improvements.

Charles Glover

I learned a lot from observing my grandfather, a simple, honest, successful businessman, ... and from my various experiences at camp and in boarding schools.

Tom Curley

There are high schools in Texas that have better facilities than a lot of I-A colleges have.

Tim Salem

I was born in LeMoyne Gardens and grew up in South Memphis where I attended Florida, Walker and Ford elementary schools, and Carver and Mitchell high schools. As a child my Big Mama always made me stay in the house; I could not play like the other kids. I had to go in for Bible study in my little red chair.

Bishop Marcell Wright Jr

It is a travesty to have a PE program branded by McDonald's. It further commercializes schools and gets the company even more publicity with children.

Kelly Brownell

It's really crazy. You get to meet all the CEOs at Nike. They're making a commitment to all the top high schools in the country. They're taking the top 20 (football) teams in America. They're tapping the high school market. We'll be a Nike team head to toe.

Bobby Bentley

Class expansion has been one of those issues over the past decade that has repeatedly been brought to the forefront by member schools. However, until the membership was polled in the recent advisory referendum, there hadn't been the kind of support to warrant such an expansion.

Marty Hickman

Once we get a graduate of that school, we'll address that issue. There are border schools and established medical schools in Mexico. There's a big difference. If they just popped up, they'll get a different look.

Jill Wiggins

The current federal system does help us identify struggling schools, ... But it's not good for the more important part, and that is improving schools.

Jack O'connell

In fact, there are always solutions for the schools' concerns, but they never think about it. For example, the academic performance of disabled children can be evaluated based on a set of different standards. The parents can accompany their children to help their physical inconvenience.

Shi Yanxia

It helps over time to lift our national standard ... but AP doesn't reach all students. Indeed, the challenge of high schools is, first of all, reducing a dropout rate that, nationally, is almost one-third.

Bob Wise

They're close, they are local - not national. When you have a question, often you are calling people that you actually know. . . . They know the schools, they know the borrowers, they know the state economy, they know the guaranteeing agency, and that's all a plus in our book.

Karen Walker

We would require more of students to graduate than traditional public schools.

Scott Hall

We do hit nutrition quite a bit in our schools.

Brad Rose

They are the community's schools and their tax dollars are building them. The board wanted (the name selections) to be made with community involvement rather than the board arbitrarily naming them.

Valerie Miller

This is a way to expand our curriculum throughout the district. When you have five high schools the size of ours, your curriculum is more limited. With this, kids can take classes (being held) in another building.

Andy Melin

Good schools, good jobs, good government. These are not unreasonable demands. But sadly, some of our people have already lost heart and have left Hawaii to look for these things elsewhere.

Linda Lingle

We are hoping to help the middle schools out and give the kids the fundamentals of the game. So that when they get there, they will ready and eventually, those kids will be moving up to the high school. We want coach Mallard to have the end product at Clinton High.

Jerry Herring

As we build new schools, the classes will be constructed to adhere to the class size reduction targets. And as we build additions those classes must be built to adhere the class size reduction targets.

Nat Harrington

I think the young are very much aware of the current race climate [in their schools]. They see certain black males being sent to the principal's office. They see Advanced Placement programs passing them over.

Sheley Secrest

If there is no high school right away, there is no need to have an administrator over three schools.

Paul Asfour

That game, believe it or not, it really raised the whole school's morale, seeing those girls not quit.

Robert Vinegar

We've been getting lots of information talking about what bullying is. Bullying has been starting very early in schools. Bullying may start innocently, but it can escalate into something stronger.

Julie Bell

That's what eventually pushed North Carolina over the divide. It gave Governor Easley an argument: Why should our people be paying for schools in Virginia, Georgia, Tennessee and South Carolina?

Ferrell Guillory

The implication is that schools are out of control with their school tax bases. In many cases were more frugal.

George White

We were taking it to them on the field. Then halftime would come and our cheerleaders would be out there with their little stick moves, the straight-armed stuff with the hands. It was embarrassing. Other schools would be laughing at us.

Dwain Lewis

It was a good offer. And some of the other schools I was looking at were farther away.

Brett Smith

I think we have to look at everything differently now after the hurricanes. As fast as we're building new schools, we're also having to rebuild schools. We can't pretend things are the same way they were two or three years ago.

Carol Hilson

If money were no object, schools would love to have an iconic design by a world-famous architect. People want to get the best-looking facilities they can. But they know they can't afford everything. We try to understand what the competing priorities are.

Frank Hayes

Other leading pharmacy schools have much more space than we have.

Jay Blanton

In lieu of not building buildings, we do not have a choice, We are adding 1,000 students per year. We need to be building three schools every two years, and we are not even coming close to that.

Gene Miller

We felt that we needed to formalize the process for naming schools. The community has an opportunity to be involved. I personally think it has worked extremely well. . . . I hope that future boards will continue to use the same format.

Harry Kinnan

There are many schools that are opening their doors to people to come back to school, to learn about pharmacy work and the opportunities are endless, and the salaries are quite good.

Deborah Russell

This looks like a shameful attempt to encourage public schools to teach Christianity.

Peter Simonson

We're weaving our way through a timeline so we don't interfere with the schools. We try to maintain good working relations with the town and the schools.

Frank Poirot

We got permission from the state to take him to other schools and compete in their meets.

Robin Ruh

We've been working diligently to introduce new, healthier offerings that give schools a broader selection of better-for-you-options than ever before. We're also providing incentives to our bottlers that will encourage compliance with the new policy. As an industry, we are part of the solution.

Dawn Hudson

You move something that big with 2,000 people, it's like moving a company. More and more people are going to move wherever the school is. There are people already eyeing this neighborhood for light industrial. Right now the schools are a tremendous anchor for our neighborhoods.

Marge Pryately

In some of those places that lost several schools, that 5 percent can be a substantial number. And when they're already cash-strapped, that's going to be a real difficult issue for them.

Hank Bounds

Colleges will welcome anything that improves the output from schools, particularly at 16 years of age, because we feel that we are being pushed by the government to pick up the pieces of what it sees as a failing and flawed system.

Nick Lewis

It was a legacy of the days when technology wasn't quite as advanced, and when the online schools were perceived as of a lower quality than traditional institutions.

Sean Gallagher

We'll make a determination once they (completely) register students whether additional teachers need to be hired. A lot depends on how many students enter our schools system.

Greg Kelly

With over $8 billion available before the Perry tax plan is even considered, any school finance plan that leaves our children's schools and their teachers out of the equation just doesn't add up.

Donna New Haschke

Many of the schools are not usable anymore so the kids can't go back to school. Some children have been actually hurt by the fighting itself but probably more of them have been hurt by the psychological damage.

Carol Bellamy

If anybody sees the work at the Defense Language Institute and the Naval Postgraduate School, they come away just overwhelmed with pride and excitement at how good these schools are and how diverse they are, and that's what the commissioners did.

Sam Farr

You need to send (students) to schools with good facilities and faculty - and they need to be able to find good jobs when they graduate. Let's look at the big picture here.

Marcia Mellitz

I think the inner-city kids are going to lose out on opportunities that other districts may get. I think they lose out already. The schools are different. The activities are different. I think this bill is just going to make things worse instead of better.

Regina Anderson

The only request to the schools was to utilize the money for something other than enrichment, ... We asked the schools to purchase something tangible that the school budget would not cover.

Robin Day

Both ... served our schools for many years. Both were role models for our youths and well liked by our community.

Alexander Gardner

Lunch (at the two elementary schools) was a little longer than normal, but it will be until they get used to it. But they were hanging in there.

Jeffrey Clark

I fear that this bill, without the sufficient resources, will merely highlight our shortcomings. I fear it will not provide the assistance, both financial and technical, that schools will need to meet the goals of having every student meet their full academic potential.

Jim Jeffords

None of that comes to a halt. Those schools still are getting older every year and need to be replaced.

Joseph Sanches

If growth comes up (increases) then we'll be able to leave all (schools) open.

Kerry Smith

These are the kinds of plans we?re hoping that businesses and communities and schools and others will undertake.

Dr. Ned Calonge

These are wells that are no longer in use. The corporation will contribute $500 per well to either of the two nearby elementary schools.

Gail Rymer

Adding schools that are very, very good football schools, there's no reason to believe (the ACC) can't challenge the top four conferences. But they're not there yet.

Andy Bernstein

This is a very competitive award, and it's an honor to be among the finalists. Carolina First Bank is delighted to help recognize these high-achieving schools.

Mack Whittle

That is what happened last year when we closed some schools. Many families left the district. I would like families to call our office before moving to a charter school. We would like to work with them.

Darlene Fisher

Freddy funds his plan through a nearly $1 billion property tax hike. Coupled with his stock-transfer tax to fix the schools, it seems there is no problem that higher taxes can't solve.

Stu Loeser

I am not directly opposed to the fact that they are recruiting high schools, but the means they go about it to get students to sign up for the military.

Peter Young

It's very frustrating and unfortunate for the officers and the public, ... Other departments are providing far more progressive law enforcement. People move here for schools and security.

Dennis Buckley

In north Biscayne Bay, there are schools of small pilchards, threadfin herring, large Spanish sardines and the first schools of finger mullet. Offshore, there are schools of ballyhoo and flying fish being chased by jacks, bonito, cero mackerel and dolphin.

Alan Sherman

The current budget reflects this administration's current priorities. They wanted a budget that gives more money to schools. The legislators have other priorities. The budget also includes money for older projects. Those projects that we can afford to move on, we will. There are several hundred projects on hold waiting for review.

Andrew Ross

No one wants to curb enthusiasm, but in the process if people are getting injured schools can't allow that to happen. You may see a further separation from players and fans. The problem is when fans really do become part of the action.

Daniel Wann

I do think there are more classes on the way and I think there will be a loss of identity for a lot of small schools.

Taylor Bell

He's an outstanding pitcher. He's one of the top pitchers in the state. He's got a great career ahead of him. I know that a lot of Division I schools are already looking at him.

Bernie Walter

What they in essence have done is give those schools permission to talk to them about potentially transferring.

Fred Mims

I'm new to politics, but my main passion is schools, so I fell into politics as a result. This is a defining moment in Plymouth. We need to do something.

Anne Difrancesco

We had to out-hustle eight or nine schools for Herrington. I can't tell you how fired up I am. I think he's going to grow to 6-7.

Jim Graffam

We will be staying at schools and churches along the route and we will be talking to camp kids as well as other organizations to raise awareness. We want to inspire people so they can create the next big thing. This ride isn't just about raising funds; We want to change the world.

Chris Markl

Basically all schools in the county were invited to attend to hear this message of abstinence and safe sex.

Monica Ramirez

That is how this thing is spread. In other words, schools might be closed and public gatherings might be stopped.

Chuck Hammer

Dr. Small is the steady hand guiding the Akron Public Schools during challenging times.

Paul Allison

I'm not quite so sure about those (sleep) studies. I look at the performance results at some of the top schools in the county and they start school early without any negative effects.

Annemarie Spadafora

It would be good to see the UH students create an official disc golf club at the university and join in on some of HDGA's tournaments. Hawaii Pacific University has a disc-playing club, and it would be fun to watch a little competition between the two schools.

Michael Roman

We had checked with the ESD (Educational Service District) last week, and they told us about 50 percent of the schools in the ESD were open today.

Bob Kuehl

It was a wonderful experience. All of the schools came together for one cause.

Rusty Fumi

When you go to the table, you see a person who has no interest in the Akron Public Schools -- no stake. That's very bothersome.

Karen Dinkins

It's a natural fit and one that we are delighted has worked out in a way that suits the schedules of both schools.

Damon Evans

Music education in the public schools is where it all begins.

Tammy Genovese

We were created not to be another school of management. San Diego already has schools of management in business. They do a fine job at what they're supposed to do, but it isn't why the industry in San Diego -- and beyond -- wanted us to exist.

Robert Sullivan

The IBM program is designed to attract high performers. We want people who are valuable to the company to participate because we know that those are the same people who will be valuable in schools.

Rick Falknor

The front nine hurt us. But I was hearing that from a lot of the schools today.

Jarrett Hatcher

You can get a great education at these schools, and that's one thing. But these kids also want to win games and be recognized. And all the great high school players want to play on Sunday.

John Cooper

I don't support treating them as commercial. The taxes on the large homes enable the funding of schools and employees.

Chris Hardee

Some of the other schools are taking us serious. It's a compliment to us. We're a young team.

Chris Stasicha

A study was conducted last year to find possible fees that would assist with reaching our goal of making up deficits. The study dealt with comparisons of Big Ten schools.

Jan Mills
