Civil rights group threatens school board on facilities use policy
The American Civil Rights Union (not the same as the American Civil Liberties Union) sent letters to the Guilford County Board of Education Monday responding to a proposal to limit outside group's access to elementary schools until 6 p.m. General Counsel Peter Ferrara said the group would not hesitate to bring legal action against the school board, if necessary.
The letter was a little late: Nancy Routh and her policy committee bowed to public pressure and changed the facilities use policy last week. However, I'm not sure if the issue of limiting what flyers can be sent home to students has been addressed. Check out the changes on Thursday's school board agenda.
