DJA erronisouly states:<br><br><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">"Why is it too
much to ask that the MSD promise to allocate more funding so the kids that
cannot afford lunch get the same opportunities in a public education system
as kids that can afford to buy lunch
everyday?"</span></font><br><br>Fact is that there are several programs in effect for public schools that allow low-middle income children to not only receive lunch but breakfast for free or low cost. Just go to the school and ask for the forms.<br><br>PCAS is NOT a charter school...it is part of the school system and they very greatly address the issues that kids face in a very up-front but low-keyed manner. That school SAVES children and their education. It gives opportunities to everyone that needs it. I mean EVERYONE!!!! no matter you income, "disability" or abilities...they give any child a chance that may fit better than the so-called "regular" system. And yes, they do address the vocational issues as well - in many ways.<br><br>The reason that "number" in the race game that DJA is playing here are off is simple - this town does not have the kind of population that would necessarily "dictate" greater numbers of minorities in the PCAS. Fact is, we a majority of whites and there is a majority of whites in the MHS. It just stands to reason therefore, that a majority of those attending PCAS are white. PCAS is NOT discriminatory in any way, shape or form either in ref to race, colour, creed, religion, sexual orientation, or "ability/disability". DJA, on the other hand....welll, let's just say <span style="font-style: italic;">his</span> words speak for him.<br><br>It'd be nice if just ONCE DJA got something correct. Too much to ask, I suppose.<br><br>Now if you look at schools that the CC run - THERE's discriminatory actions for you. They won't even allow "disabled" kids into the door much less a "greater" number of minorities....as was pointed out in previous posts last year.<br><br>J :]<br><br><br><blockquote><hr>From: suehovey@moscow.com<br>To: the_ivies3@yahoo.com; vision2020@moscow.com<br>Date: Sun, 11 Nov 2007 23:24:52 -0800<br>Subject: Re: [Vision2020] School Levy Unfair to Poorer Students<br><br>
