[Q] - Quincy School District: Superintendent Lonny Lemon said the Board Office has fielded numerous calls since 2:30 today. He said he has had both pro and con calls regarding the president's address.
"This is not a win-win situation," Lemon said. "Some parents are not going to have a problem with it, but some are going to want the president to speak when the family can make a decision (regarding the speech)." Lemon said he was going to discuss the matter with his building principals and the School Board before making a decision on if the Quincy School District will allow teachers to participate in the speech. Lemon said at least two of the district's buildings probably will not be able to carry it because of technical limitations. E-mails are also circulating throughout the Quincy community regarding Obama's address to the students. Some parents have contacted QuincyNews.org to say they will not send their kids to school next Tuesday if they have no say about their children taking part in the Obama address. - http://www.quincynews.org/local-news/quincy-school-district-considering-how-to-handle-obama-address-to-students.html --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
