Listen up

Can you believe it?!?

The Collier County School Board, in a rare reversal of policy, actually listened to its constituency. You know, the people who put them in office (and were threatening to string them up).
At least temporarily, the board decided the bow to the will of the people, at least for one year.

The Collier County School Board agrees block scheduling should stay in Collier County high schools. For one more year. But whether to go from eight credits to seven in the 2009-10 school year was a little trickier. The School Board voted 4-1 Thursday night to keep the 4x4 block schedule for the 2008-09 school year.

This, of course, isn't to say that the board won't go into executive session in the next month or so and reverse itself.

But at least temporarily the will of the people has been heard.

Whoda thunk it?

And so it goes.
