We all get busy... Here's the "latest"

Work, school, life, etc. Glad to see that this thing has a life of its own.

VAPAC NEWS

School's going private... imagine that. But they gave it a good try as a public entity.

If anything the successes and failures of VAPAC should be something upon which we all meditate. Administrative mismanagement showed us the extent to which our district is incapable (or unwilling) to oversee schools that it charters; enrollment, however modest, shows us that the students and parents of this district desire a stand alone arts program -- not something like that monstrosity CAPA at Rosemont or any of the themed based SLCs that offer instruction in the arts.

We need to push for a stand alone school. We have a technology school, a health themed school, an engineering and science themed school but nothing for the arts. And no continuation. No Vocational arts...
