The good news is there are a lot of good students out there.

News directors are first and foremost looking for news, ... So if you look at the recent cases that have gotten so much attention ... those children disappeared from their homes and their own beds. It is a scenario that absolutely terrifies every parent. Thus, it's news.

It's very serious. We're growing at 10 percent - approximately 1,000 students every year.

This is good news, but it's really something we've always known.

That's not good news at all.

We don't have a plan if a pandemic comes around, we can't turn 53 buildings, 32,000 students and 1,800 teachers into a kind of virtual school. We couldn't even do that in a year. We don't have a plan for sending curriculum by e-mail to students. We'll be doing whatever we can in the best interest of the community. . . . And we would do whatever kind of enrichment activities we could.
