More on Redistricting

See today’s articles in the High Point Enterprise for more coverage (main article here and sidebar here).

An excerpt:

Southwest Guilford High currently does not offer a specialty program, but the themes work in the same way magnet programs func­tion at the middle and elementary level – to attract students.
“There’s nothing at Southwest that would attract students, and quite frank­ly there is no space,” Superintendent Terry Grier said during Thursday’s dis­cussion on choice options for students. Members of the Guilford County Board of Education forged through a lengthy agenda on Thursday, not reach­ing discussion until after 11:30 p.m. on a proposal to create attendance optional zones in High Point. Board member Wal­ter Childs made the motion to table dis­cussion until more board members were present.

Sounds like another installment of Grierisms! What a boneheaded remark.

SMOD Coming to Central?

A supporter wrote in to say they hear that HP Central may be heading towards uniforms next year:

I understand that Revonda Johnson, principal of Central, is advising students and parents that Central is going to SMOD next year. Do you have any information on this? I remember that last year she mistakenly said that Central was going to a traditional schedule. Has she jumped the gun again?

If any of my Central spotters have any info to share, please pass it on.
