The Charter Discussion
I still have to write a thread on the entire charter bill (the Senate and House bills are identical, SB 6202 and HB 2428) and a thread on why charters I think charters are a bad idea for our state. But let's catch up on what others are saying.
First, the Times. Oh Times, you always slay me. Always out the gate with that bad "teachers union." Seriously, first thing. Then, they always get something factually wrong (and I ask them to cite the page and line for this):
Each would be required to adopt a specific plan to serve educationally disadvantaged children.
I've read the bill twice and I'm going to read it again but I do not see that statement anywhere but it sure looks

Snow - It's Coming
UPDATE: 7:33 pm - SPS Schools will open TWO HOURS LATE on Tuesday, Jan. 17th. Buses will be operating on snow routes tomorrow, which means that yellow buses run only on roads maintained by the City that receive snow removal.

According to Cliff Mass:
The big question for days...the question on which the forecast depended on...was where the trough/low pressure would go. Head north of us, we get perhaps 4-8 inches of snow, followed by a few hours of rain and then the whole thing starts melting. The snow would start around 3-4 AM on Wednesday AM. This is the best case (if you don't like a crippling snow event).
The bottom line is that there is a serious threat on Wednesday of 8-15 inches of snow over the region, with a minimal turn over to rain. The biggest snowstorm in years. Anyway, before anyone goes out and buys a snowblower, lets see what tonight's runs show. If they continue this trend then Slushmageddon might be
