It would seem to me that now would be a good time to look at the whole thing and say what do we need to do.

I think most parents are satisfied with the neighborhood schools. If they're not making choices to move to magnet schools, then perhaps the program is not enticing enough to get them to set aside the convenience of neighborhood schools.... For example, bus rides (to magnet schools) are over 45 minutes each way. It is a great impediment to people making that choice.

It's been a long time coming, but now we have a fine facility for first responders.

They're having a rough time, but they'll get better next year.

It might have been easier to win the first time. Repeating is much more difficult. I think we showed a lot of heart and determination all year and didn't let anything get to us.

We caught it in time.
