Friday DSBN Academy roundup

Lots of articles from the past week and a bit to aggregate on the District School Board of Niagara's school for at-risk students. Most if not all of it coming out of the St. Catharines Standard.

• They spoke to the principal-director of the Preuss (charter) School in San Diego;
• An editorial arguing the Academy should have been an election issue in the October vote;
• Coverage of the decision made earlier this week on a vote to rescind the Academy (it failed), as well as the two-week deadline for the first cohort of students to apply; and,
• An upcoming forum where it and other options may be discussed.

The Standard should be applauded for its continuing coverage on this. As the editorial points out, it broke the story on the academy before the meeting where it was first approved. It's followed up with all the initial reaction and the reconsideration. Showing attending the meetings is mandatory, but not the be-all-end-all of education coverage through its other coverage.
I do hope they sustain it as registration begins and the school opens in the fall.
