		<description><![CDATA[The Lincoln women who testified at tonight&#8217;s board meeting and encouraged board members to close schools prompted me to revisit some data.  Lincoln, Grant, Wilson and Cleveland are viewed as &#8220;successful schools&#8221; but what students are successful at those schools?  The data below is for Lincoln but Grant and Wilson look similar. Black students accounted for [...]]]></description>

Each of those schools have suffered from PPS actions or inactions.  Those schools along with Marshall have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Superintendent Smith&#8217;s recent recommendation to cut paraeducator and bilingual educational assistant staff is certainly consistent with PPS history.  Like a playground bully, Smith picks on the weakest members. Her recommendation to close Marshall is just one more example of that.  She doesn&#8217;t have the courage to stand up to Grant or Lincoln or Wilson so she [...]]]></description>
