Looking at the pictures, I thought maybe that was a Dave Matthews concert…

Seriously, anyone else noticing the severe lack of diversity there?

In reply to sps watcher. SPSW - Not a comment on anything else you point out but Sherry Carr was elected in fall 2007, by which time Fairmount Park was already closed (following a decision made in 2006). There was, of course, ANOTHER round of closings not too far behind.

Carr was a director throughout the closings. She needs to retire. She also did nothing with the GHS rape. She also allowed MGJ to run the show. No where as bad as Blandford or Martin-Morris. I believe that Martin-Morris was there too, coming in with Carr.

Retire Carr or at least grow a set. Blandford and Martin-Morris recuse yourselfs permanently as you are both over your heads.

Carr is responsive though and I admire her for that.

In reply to I Wonder.

IW, fwiw, I don’t know that anyone involved in that decision WAS there. Certainly that was a few superintendents ago. As for the School Board, it’s turned over completely – nobody on it now was even on it in 2007, let alone 2006 when the closure decisions were made. The district also has had a lot of middle-management turnover – assistant superintendents, etc.

The knuckleheads that closed the school in the first placed should have been banned from the opening.
