WELCOME

BREAKING NEWS!

Marion Brady has allowed us to post a recent article we feel is of great importance. He asks us to examine problems we are facing with our current curriculum and to consider our purposes in the face of a changing world. If you want to stretch your brain a bit, read “Back to the Real Basics” .

RICH SEMLER, Richland School Superintendent, announced that he will seek the position of State Superintendent at the Richland Board meeting of October 23. Dr. Semler intends to retire from his position in Richland at the end of the school year. He is well known for his opposition to the WASL. For more information visit his WEBSITE.

Now would be a great time to write a letter to the Editor of your local paper to register
your concerns about the WASL. For letter writing tips CLICK HERE.
