Life is full of decisions: how to spend our time & money, who to vote for, what to say and do in a particular situation. Parents, students, teachers, administrators, and taxpayers all have the opportunity and responsibility to make decisions in the best interests of our students.
What are some examples of decisions made recently that have benefited our district?
And how can less-positive decisions be corrected so our students get maximum benefit?

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 214 of 214I get it! When an immature person realizes they have made a foolish remark, rather than own up to it, they say "I was just kidding!" or you didn't " get the joke."
This is on openline and you be the judge of this one.
One of our viewers shared a recent unusual situation for a student at East Aurora High School.
The school informed the parents that if the student didn't prove having a driver's license, they wouldn't be allowed to graduate.
Should a school district or high school be able to REQUIRE a driver's license to graduate?
In this case, the situation is a bit more unusual. The student took a private driving course, had a driver's license and was required to show it to the school in order to get a parking permit.
However, despite that, the school sent a certified letter at considerable expense rather than checking with itself.
Clearly, East Aurora High School didn't handle this specific situation well and wasted expensive postage for nothing.

From the Openline blog--
No surprise that D131 administration bungled this--they're famous for wasting money. Right now thousands of tax dollars are being wasted on attorney's fees because a School Board candidate wasn't a registered voter, and won't admit she broke the rules.
And no, driver's ed should NOT be required! I know of many cases (one of my own kids included) where a high school student chooses to take driver's ed privately, because they want to be able to use the time for another credit class. My son chose to take AP courses that he could transfer to college, and we paid for driver's training during the summer. It worked out great--and was no more expensive than it would have been at school.
Families need and deserve to make the choices that best serve THEIR kids' situations--and the school district (especially corrupt ones like D131) have no business interfering!

OHHHHHH, wow, what insight. The new information is just flowing out of this blog. What would I ever do without the "transparency" that this blog provides.
Thank you sooooooo much.

You're soooooooo welcome!

BE AWARE - The "Blog Administrator" is deleting posts that she does not like, not just posts with "naughty words."
So how does everyone feel about the administration and central office getting about $600.00 a month of Jimmy Johns and about $400.00 a month of Panera Bread a month. Know people that work in those places and they say they are regular customers.
I love it. Stimulate the economy.
To clarify - taking driver's education is a state requirement for graduation, unless the student gets a waiver. A drivers LICENSE, is not required. If the student takes driver's ed at a private agency, proof would be required so the district can comply with the requirements.
@April 23, 2011 8:37 AM-you clarified that very well, thank you for your input, hopefully that satisfies some questions by other bloggers.
I've been thru the ISBE site, and cannot find any requirement that students' complete drivers' ed for graduation. There IS a requirement that the school teaches drivers' ed. But the graduation requirements don't list it.
What is up that the president of the school board is yelling and screaming at the superintendent that the police are called
There are a bunch of lazy asses at Simmons and its not just administration!
