Really the End?

On June 6th 2008 they say they closed the doors forever to Prospect School. “Budget cuts”, explained the Herald County Superintendent. The local paper quoted Herald County Principals reacting to the news:

“My main concern is that if we are not successful in disciplining unruly children then these kids will be taking instructional time from the others.”

“We will definitely use in-school suspension more. It may mean that the expulsion route may be considered more often.”
(In Florida expelled students are not legally entitled to ANY education.)

But Henry, my public school liaison is quoted as saying that disruptive elementary and middle school students will be moved to ESAK, the alternative High School or to another alternative school that is exclusively for Special Education. “I don’t think there will be a problem. There will be room.”
