MISD is a client of my company - I don't know anyone there personally but I'm sure many of the faculty/administrative members disagree with what has become 'streamlined policy' for every school district that receives any federal dollars.
A fund is a good idea - kick-ass legal representation costs a lot.
Good, on-topic, non-flambait letters make the best sense. Especially if the policy doesn't come from the top of the admin tree @ the district in question.
Be patient - this is gov't you're dealing with, nothing happens overnight.
If your child goes to this school, make the point to be visible @ meetings and vocal about what you don't agree with and why. It wouldn't do anyone any good to bully the District the way some of these kids are bullying each other.
Request an evaluative process to be implemented by the district @ their(the gov't) expense. Kids like Sean who have no prior offenses should be given a 'benefit of the doubt' session with an INDEPENDENT therapist....not someone on the school payroll roster who could lose their job if they don't follow the rules of the game. Someone who has NO AGENDA to determine how much of a risk the kid is.
If you have children in school - check with your school administrator and take in a meeting to discuss these scenarios, reality check them if you have to. See what's up BEFORE it becomes a situation with your family. Don't get blindsided.
My advise: educate yourself...know MORE than they do BEFORE they do.
I saw them in Montana - pretty kewl since I was right in the middle of town where the light polution is at its greatest.
Heard about it right before I saw them when a 6' tall self proclaimed red-headed geek girl at a party said we were supposed to be able to see them.
Instead of partying hard, this house full of geeks emptied into the street and "oh'd" and "ah'd"...pretty pathetic bunch if you ask me...fridge full of beer and we're out looking at the sky like a bunch o' dorks.
So my question is what were the choices in the 'Gallup' poll? If someone calls you to do a survey and your options for answers are minimal, shouldn't we look closely at the 'other' catagory answers?
81% seems like a lot but if you're calling and surveying folks who A) don't own a computer and B) don't have adolscent children - the sample is totally useless.

That's a great series of analogies to read into a blurb about lights in the sky...how poetic/prophetic/bizarre the colors in your world must be...
enjoy the rest of the show mate

Oh well, they were beautiful just the same.
