This week has been an interesting one to say the least. Unless your a resident of Indianapolis, and specifically in Perry Township, you may not be aware of the drama that’s developed this week in our school system.
The quick synopsis is that 4 school board members have railroaded the other three members and have voted to put our award winning school superintendent on administrative leave. My wife has become deeply involved in our son’s school and the PTA. Through some developments for his school, we become acutely aware of some of the behaviours and actions of our school board as we pushed for renewing the Edison School’s contract for our school.
In a complete shock to the township, these four board members completed their task and are now pursuing and investigation and ultimate firing of our superintendent. As this surprise agenda item was added to the regularly scheduled school board meeting this past Monday night, hundreds of parents and teachers attended showing their support for what our superintendent has done for the township. I ended up speaking to the board. They didn’t allow comments from the community to be expressed before vote and didn’t allow the other three board members to table the motion so additional time could be used to gather details and information from the other four board members. But after the vote, I spoke along with many other parents, teachers and educators and expressed our frustration and astonishment at the actions of the board.
From that moment, our home phone has rung off the hook, our e-mail accounts have been filled, I’ve developed a website that’s gotten significant attention in the community, all showing support and appreciation for what we’re trying to do to assist our schools. We’ve even received some ambiguous threats from a single individual via e-mail.
It’s been tiring and exciting at the same time. Stay tuned for more information. If you’ve got any ties to Perry Township or Indianapolis, I encourage you to?help us increase awareness as much as possible.
My mom just alerted our family to a scam she just experienced, but foiled for the perpetrator. An FYI, be on the alert if you get something similar. I couldn’t be more proud of my mom either, she handled this perfectly! She’s a smart one!
Out of curiosity since you didn’t know who Charles Davis is at 800-829-7750, I called the number (since they already had our number – and I didn’t give him your number this morning when he asked for it; I just said “he’s moved and I don’t have his phone number”).? Anyway, a lady answered “Hello” when I called, which I found rather unusual.? I asked, “Who is this?” and she said, “Just a minute” and put me on hold.? Then a man answered and said his name was Lou Hudson.? I asked him for the name of the business and he refused to give me one, asking me my name.? I wouldn’t give him my name but told him I was returning a call.? I asked 3-4 times for a business name and he said, “If you’ll give me your account number, I can help you.”? I said, “If I don’t know what business it is, how could I give you an account number?!”? Again I asked him for the name of the business and when he wouldn’t give me a name, I said, “It must not be a legitimate business. I will report this.”? Then I hung up and Googled the phone number.? This is the website:?

Regardless of where you stand on the issue of the U.S. involvement in Iraq, here’s a sobering statistic.
?
There has been a monthly average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theatre of operations during the last 22 months, and a total of 2,112 deaths.
?
That gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000 soldiers.
?
The firearm death rate in Washington D.C. is 80.6 per 100,000 persons?? for the same period.
?
That means that you are about 25% more likely to be shot and killed in the U.S. Capital than you are in Iraq.
?
Conclusion: The U.S. should pull out of Washington
I received this from a family member and thought it was too “on target” to not share.
