Suit's on

Yesterday the Vegeler Law Office officially filed suit on behalf of Elmhurst parents to keep the school open. How this will all play out is any one's guess, and the most urgent question at the moment is whether the school will at least be open this fall. The constitutional question about access to education to me boils down to whether someone with a child at Elmhurst should be forced to send them to Wayne. If it were me, the answer would be a resounding "NO WAY!".

A more interesting point of discovery will come in examining the district's finances to see whether there's another way to find the money needed to keep Elmhurst open. My guess is that there's enough deadwood in the "fiefdoms" in the Grile Center and the schools to pay for that and for the additional 8 million they will have to cut next year. Just finding out what FWCS has squirreled away should be worth the cost of the lawsuit. They are "Our Schools" after all.

Read Andrea Neal's columns in the Sentinel about school reform. We need a damn hurricane up here to drown this district so we can start over.

I am so proud of Angie for doing this...and I am like you Code Blue...now the money has to be layed out on the counter and in public view. Our schools, but not our money. I know that they are already thinking up ways to blame someone else at FWCS for any cover up that may occur. A business like FWCS always has a fall guy...
