The Amu Darya and Panj rivers mark the border with Afghanistan, and the glaciers in Tajikistan's mountains are the major source of runoff for the Aral Sea. from Wikipedia. The bad part is that in the six years they expect to reach Aralsk, is probably the time when the Global Warming effects will override their good intentions -and those of the UN.

It seems East County Blacks play the racism card every chance they get...their move absolves them from accepting personal responsibility...

No arrests??? Never mind, their parents would just hire lawyers and the matter would just simply go away.

The state is in a budget crisis and some school district does this? I know that the hearing she is now going to get will cost that district way over a $100,000 in attorney expenses. You would have thought that the Board or the Superintendent would have talked directly with her and tried to clear this up. I don't know all the facts of this case, but it seems that this nurse was not afraid to take it to the public, so why wouldn't the Board and the Superintendent just gone directly to her and ask her side of the story? This all seems strange to me.

The current fine art museum on campus is kinda sad. The building interior is a prefab concrete stairwell taking you up to increasing levels of artistic mediocrity. My fear is that the new Ito designed museum on Oxford will end up being like the Nevada Museum of Art: all the money got spent on a great building to house a lame regional and special interest collection. Mostly, the appropriately named NAM is loaded with diversity kindergarten art that's barely worth the canvass it's painted on.

""Some teachers are uncomfortable because the data shows their kids aren't reading," said Sue Brothers, assistant superintendent for educational services." comment from an Assistant Supt., leaves me to wonder where she's been, since it's not the superintendent who teaches reading, but the teachers in the classroom. Just another one on the pecking order who doesn't understand education, it seems.

What disturbs me in the video of the new superintendent is to see the few people in the audience, who were at this meeting.
