I still have two weeks of Tribs to read and I&#8217;ve got to see if my &#8220;trading cards&#8221; are ready yet. And this morning my nephew paid us a call ending a seven year estrangement between our families. He&#8217;s a new Dad and that means new leaves being turned over.

It also would identify high schools with a graduation rate below 67 percent or where any student group \u2014 black, Asian, Latino or low-income, for example \u2014 falls below a 67 percent graduation rate.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This story screams &#8220;EQUITY!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Good. That&#8217;s one of the three legs of my campaign and you can find it on the back of my trading cards. &#8220;EQUITY-HONESTY-EXPERIENCE&#8221; I better go pick them up if they are ready and begin passing them out at Spirit Mountain Days.
