Just BCNHS

On March 1, at 1:30, Randi Weingarten is coming to our school to discuss possible ways to save it. What can a person say? What we hope is that she will really help us. What we fear is that she will place us in the context of other priorities and explain why she can't.

We've been told, also, by our FORMER superintendent (man who closed us because we are an old car) that if we PROPOSE another school like ours, but different, he would help us. For example, what if we made our school MORE SELECTIVE -- what if we KICKED STUDENTS OUT if they were absent too much. To me that means closing the school. The point of the school is that we DIDN'T GIVE UP on our students. Once we start, we're closed anyway.

We shall see what Ms. Weingarten has to say.
