It's sad when music programs get defunded, but I find it appalling when students don't have textbooks. Did anyone see the recent I-Team on the Philadelphia School District? Two guys alone spent $33,000 in 3 years.

First of all,considering that these guys are more likely buying services and not selling them, they shouldn't have had to pick up the tab. And if it was all school district employees, then they shouldn't have been eating in the Four Seasons.

School transfer rule may change

Excerpts:
That decision could affect other school systems across the nation, including Knox County, where students currently are prohibited from transferring among public schools if doing so would upset a school’s racial balance.

Knox County’s current transfer policy defines black students as “minority” and all other students as “nonminority.”
