On Elementary school management plan might be tweaked

Interesting that it says "might be tweaked" when we got a letter from school last night saying that Mike Kuehne was leaving at the end of the semester. Seems pretty finalized to me.
On Could district close school earning national honor?

Kennedy has a building set up in four neighborhoods. Kids of different age groups are in separate areas that fit their stages. They also do looping, where kids have the same teacher for 1st/2nd and 3rd/4th grades. The neighborhood set up works well with this. Looping allows them to get off to a quick start the second year since everyone knows the rules, and expectations and the teachers know the students. So in addition to a staff with a mixture of experienced and younger teachers who work well together, I think the building design and the looping (that works better due to the building design) make a difference.

I saw that Kennedy has 4 sections of kindergarten and only 3 kindergarten rooms...maybe they'll need to expand in the future! Ha! But seriously, how can they expect to cram all those kids into other schools?

kaysbrew must have taken the Palin/Bachmann history class! Seems to me that the economy was "blown up" BEFORE Obama took office and that it has been growing (although way too slowly) since he took office.
"typical liberal - Obama has 2-1/2 years and has blown up the economy"
On Janesville property values up 12 percent

Reading this again, it sounds like the city doesn't have to change anything for the residential properties. With a 6% change, we are in compliance with the rule of being within 10% of fair market value.

Bought our house in early 2004, refinanced 5 years later and the reassessment was the SAME price we paid 5 years earlier. The foreclosure across the street has been on the market for at least 2 years. This is hard to believe.

There are kids at Kennedy who have open-enrolled from Milton. I don't know how many, but I know for a fact that there are some.

Roosevelt is 5th now, but I'm assuming that rank is after the removal of Wilson and Jackson so it would have been at least 7th at the end of the evaluation. It said they cut 4 schools from the top to get the one they wanted into #1 though??? At least that's how I understand Choose fairly's post.

As a small business owner who buys insurance privately, I am really looking forward to these exchanges. We are locked into one plan, with a $5000 deductible, no matter how much the premiums go up, until "Obamacare" kicks in and the insurance companies can no longer deny us coverage for a pre-existing condition. If you had to buy your own insurance, you might have a different view on this issue!
