We would caution students on taking responsibility when participating in an event like this. But how they spend their free time is their decision.

We have nothing to add. We seriously talk to hundreds of companies every year and we maintain confidentiality in any negotiations we have until there is a deal.

We don't like to compare ourselves. But because we're in the same state, we will.

It's nice to see how students respond when given the responsibility. One teacher noted that a student who would normally be a problem in other situations was working with other students in trying to get them organized for one of the events.

There is a certain level of sensitivity [when parents want to transfer students]. But the district has a responsibility to manage the overcrowded schools.

The students voted me student body president simply because they knew who I was, and part of that responsibility was making a speech in front of the entire school, ... I had a couple of teachers help me with it, and it ended up pushing me to do something I probably wouldn't have otherwise done. Once that happened, it didn't bother me to speak in public.
