Memphis Schools Merge

I had briefly followed the story of a merger between two school districts in the Memphis area.  I stopped when I cynically realized there was no way the voting public would go for such a plan.  Fortunately, I was proven wrong.  Here is, in my opinion, a real sign of both progress and hope for our schools and our nation.  While not a perfect plan, it shows willingess to work together across all sorts of historical lines of division.  Well done... http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/District_Dossier/2011/03/memphis_residents_vote_to_merg.html
