I can not tell you whether State-Takeover would be a good or bad thing for Petersburg...I am sure it can go both ways...but, unless the law is overturned by a pending lawsuit, it looks like Petersburg might find out, as Peabody Middle School and AP Hill Elementary are both slated for State takeover next year.

Makes perfect sense that the School Board and School officials are against this law...at the same time, it means immediate action here in Petersburg.
We have to ask ourselves...who do we trust the way things were? Do we trust some board of School officials from around the state? Do we trust that we are improving under our own power?
Thing is, with this law, is a severe shortcoming on added resources...money, training, etc...none of which come as part of this law.
We will be hearing all about this for a the coming months....I will keep you posted.
