The main reason MCS surrendered its charter was because the Republicans took over Nashville. They didn't know what the state was going to do, but they knew it wasn't going to be good for the politicians in Memphis.

That's more properly a function of a city than the county. At some point, when Shelby is completely annexed out by all the municipalities, there won't be much need for deputies that roam around in their cars anymore, at least if Lakeland ever becomes a real town and has its own police force.

What I will say is that how well a school works or functions anywhere has to do with the quality of the people running the PARTICULAR school, and the level of parental and community involvement.

It would be stupid not to.

Heh! Snatched.
Posted by Richard Cranium]]> Wed, 18 Jan 2012 16:28:04 -0600 Memphis Flyer Read the report summary at about page 123 or 124 where it talks about attendance zones. What I gathered from the report is that a Germantown municipal school system would have to include the students living in Germantown and students living outside Germantown but in the existing attendance zones served by the schools located in Germantown.

A little of it is revenge for the way some of you castigated the poor children of MCA and some of it is retribution for the way we were treated for years. I am human and will attest to that.

What's more important, a Germantown school district will have the same racial makeup that it does now, and will include some children outside the Germantown City limits, at least that's what the consultants' report says they should do.

You said for statical purposes the state considers the municipalities to be suburbs.

Speaking of McRae (RIP), gentle giant that he could be, he also used to love to rip into lawyers who appeared before him and made what he thought were stupid arguments by asking them "what law school did you go to, counselor?" I ought to know: he did that to me, once.

Along those lines, I ask you, OTP: what law school did you go to?
