I’ve not linked to any of the recent stories about the Duluth Schools. Its sort of like kicking a dead dog. Nonetheless I shouldn’t abandon the subject completely.
This recent story is more of the Red Plan’s aftermath. The District continues laying off teachers. Not that many this time. The staff is already greatly diminished.
There are other stories I’ve missed. There was one about a new school proposed for Park Point.
A new school proposed for Duluth has students, teachers and an educational philosophy all lined up with a goal of opening this fall. Now the backers of the long-planned Spirit of the Lake Community School need to find a home.
It may draw from homeschoolers acording to one person who posted in response to the story (which is no longer accessible on the DNT website) Still, its creation will offer disgruntled families one more option to avoid enrolling their kids in the Duluth Schools.
A Duluth teacher who five years ago would often relay snide comments about the School Administraion to me, but who began clamming up when my fight with the District went into overdrive, recently told me she is looking for a way out of the District. She’s having a miserable experience in one of our new schools. That’s an anecdote not a survey but I suspect she’s not alone.
