I am considering going to this meeting.

Anyone that has the Homeschooling PING List please use it.

Thanks again.

Let the lefty loonies enjoy their echo chamber. Homeschool, and stay as far away as possible.

You’ll never see what you have highlighted since the motion will be to accept the consent agenda as presented without discussion on any one item.
You would need to see a board packet for the details.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

What a joke their claims for *transparency* are.

The left is anything but transparent.

found out that it's a Teacher in Service Day (that's what it was called back in My days in school anyway)

Well, back in my days in school, teachers didn't have In Service Days. They were expected to teach, albeit, only 9 months a year.
