The Dallas Morning News reported that Lancaster ISD officials, supporters and opponents of a measure to adopt a four day school week met with the Texas Education Agency. Follow the link to read the article.
It's a good article but it says nothing about the administration kept this trip a closely guarded secret. If trustees Carolyn Morris and Marjorie King had not gone to Austin to hand deliver a letter to the TEA it would have seemed as if the entire town of Lancaster were Larry Lewis lovers and think that the 4 day school week is a jolly good idea.
These events underscore the differences between opponents of this measure and proponents. The opponents welcome discussion and debate and hold open meetings for anyone to attend even spies. The proponents sneak around surreptitiously in the dead of night attempting to rig the outcome in their favor.
Note Lewis' statement that parents would overwhelmingly support the plan after it is implemented. I wonder what in that Thursday meeting last week with the overwhelming opposition to his plan would make him think that anyone is ever going to like it.
The forces arrayed against us are cunning and smart. We showed up ready for a fist fight while Larry Lewis and his pocket sized board showed up with artillery and close air support all financed with our money. Lesson learned, next time we'll bring nukes.
