I am excited to see all the different groups that will be impacted with the survey for the school calendar. It is my hope the parent or parents without a voice will speak up about their needs that might be different from the SOS group.

I just wanted to thank you for representing the best interests of Knoxville's children. I appreciate the time you sacrifice from your family, friends, 'real' job, and personal interests to pursue the "greater good" for Knox County students.

Do you know when the website for KCS regarding board minutes will be updated. Right now it's been since July. I would love to check up.

Thanks

What I meant to say was that 1 in 4 DON'T graduate from high school in Knox County - according to Korda's article. Still shocking to me, but not as dreadful as only having 1 in 4 graduate from high school!
