Just when you think you've seen it all.

State legislation passed a law allowing phones on campus. But we are trying to determine if the student was allowed at that time.

We're within 2 percent of the 65 percent now.

When 80 percent to 85 percent of the money is already directed toward salaries, you can't make any real headway in your budget without looking at personnel.

What it boils down to is duplication of services. We already have charter schools that serve the same need.

We also have salad bars at our high schools.

We will have to hire another 800 teachers in the next five years to meet the letter of the law. We're already facing a teacher shortage. I would rather have a quality teacher in front of 30 students than a substandard teacher in front of 15 students.

These allegations are disturbing. It was improper and unprofessional, but you see these things out there where kids are harmed emotionally and physically every day.

You never know what's going to happen next. People just don't perform the way you expect them to perform some just exhibit poor judgment from time to time.

There's been so much energy expended preparing for the FCAT. We're ready.

It's not bad if you can make an extra $100 a day tax free.

If you had 100 kids paying, that's not bad in tax-free money.

I don't know how you have a basketball coach if he's suspended for the entire season. It's a fair statement to say this is not the first such allegation to come against coach Washington over the years, but it will be the principal's job to handle the situation.

The first thing they will look at is what's on the table.
