Our readers weren't far off, though, as the film's star, Julia Roberts, got the Academy's nod for Best Actress. The Ozarks-wide meeting of school superintendents that took place a few weeks ago to discuss the effects of the Bush education reform proposal brought mixed reactions from area educators. While the administrators were optimistic about the flexibility that districts would have to make education funding decisions locally, they were concerned that the plan, which ties funding to improved performance in key education areas, would penalize Ozarks schools that are already struggling to make the grade. Once again, we had a split vote from James River Streetmailers. It makes perfect sense.

In no way should any of his plans be initiated, including the education reform plan. Get 2 FREE airline tickets to exotic destinations or 2 FREE hotel nights stay at world class resorts.
