Baltimore County happenings
A couple noteworthy items for schools in Baltimore County today.
The governor, county executive and superintendent will preside over the groundbreaking for the new Carver Center for Arts and Technology building, which is to open March 2012. The facility, which the school board has approved for LEED certification, is being built where the magnet's playing fields are now located.
This afternoon, parents from Ridgely Middle School plan to protest at the Towson courthouse, as they continue to push for air conditioning at the Lutherville school. Several elected officials are expected to join them, including members of the local delegation. I'll be going, and will post an update later today.

I guess AAA finally solved all the city's problems, huh Wise? Sad to watch Inside Ed die from the inside out, but all the actual news seems to have stopped coming in.

There are news articles being written on education with relevance to City Schools (here, here and here). These would provide good topics for discussion on the blog if a simple post with a link to education articles was posted when these articles are published. I'm not sure why this doesn't happen anymore. There seems to be little time/effort/emphasis being put into keeping this blog alive. No offense intended to the education reporters, I just call them like I see them.
