Good News

Some of you may know but due to budget cuts Pinellas county schools were trying to undo a grandfathering program they put into effect last year that was trying to undo the choice plan they started when Tori went to kindergarten. Under the new rules our kids would have had to change schools.

However after much letter writing, phone calls and meetings the parents of the 17000 students that were to be displaced prevailed and as long as we provide transportation our students will remain where they are.

While I have often complained about random things at the kids school we are very much an active part and have great relationships with the faculty there. The kids have excelled there and to move them now would have been sad.

Thanks to all those that got my email about writing a letter and did so, you helped make a difference!

I had heard about that a little from my mom. So glad the kids will get to stay at the school they love.
