On the Scene at the School Board Meeting

by David Safier

Outside the District Building, about a hundred children and adults are waving signs and shouting, “Save our schools!” led by a bullhorn. Every TV station has its video truck parked outside.

Inside the Board room, the seats are either filled or saved. “Stop School Closures” signs have been passed out to be waved at appropriate moments.

We’ll see how the evening progresses. I found there is wireless in the building, so I’ll try and report the Board decision on school closings as it happens.

I’d give you photos too, but my battery ran out. And I didn’t bring a spare. Idiot! Mike, you can dock my salary.
