[QUOTE="crrcboatz, post: 2412378, member: 32702"] Just as I have said earlier in this thread NEVER forget, a school should reflect the community it is located in. That is an adage I was taught in 1980 via OSU administration course I was taking. The thought then was if you give that up to a state or federal inanity you have lost control of that concept. As mentioned earlier such local control includes but is not limited to is, leadership, board members, curriculum, teachers, finance, transportation, etc. That concept has served this country since the one room school days. During that time we have gone to the moon (to this day no one else has), first atom bomb, on and on and on and on. This entire concept is about CONTROL. Farmer has it right, the governor is trying to sell the fact that since it is not a fed thing all is well. She is in fact head of the governors organization for this very thing. She is in fact seeking to control education through a renegade state supt that gets her marching orders from the governor's office, and [B]the governor will threaten funding to schools if the public does not bend to this. She has already done this too!!! [/B]This is textbook Texas education. This is textbook Florida education. Bow to this ideology and you will NEVER get local control back. This old fart has no dog in this fight. That said, common sense and a buttload of years invested in Oklahoma Education tells me this is a turning point for all of that. The public better wake up and fast. [/QUOTE]
