SCHOOL BOARD DISCUSSES HIGH COST-PER-PUPIL; DISTRICT CRITICS MOBILIZE
The debate over Covington Independent Public Schools's expenditures and academic achievement left online forums for a night and moved into real life at two different places at the same time. The Covington School Board, which recently authorized a new website to answer much of its criticism, discussed the cost-per-pupil rationale, a main target for some of the district's critics. Just blocks away, a newly organized group of Covington citizens were meeting in a small room to plan the next moves for Fix Covington Schools. Click the link.
