Duncan puts education above other concerns
We are very fortunate to have Alan Duncan as the chairman of the school board. Although his motion was defeated, he wanted to have the snow makeup days prior to graduation and exams. He always supports what is in the best interest of educating our students. He gives priority to giving our students what they need rather than what their parents consider convenient or popular. We would all be better off if the superintendent, other board members and the citizens of Guilford County paid more attention to what he said. He is the best chairman the consolidated district has ever had.

Joe,
I agree with you and Alan 100% on this one.
Shame on the school board! They failed the students on this one.
I can't wait to see the absence rate on June 15 - if GCS will even tell us that. I'll bet less than 1/2 show up.
What about the kids on block schedule? They've missed 6 days of class and their AP exams are only 2 months away - impossible to make up.
Shame on the school board - but thanks to Alan for trying to do the right thing.
