(part of) the Whole Truth

Friday, April 25th, 2008

So, the latest Ann Arbor Public Schools spending of taxpayer money is a campaign to ask for taxpayer money. The flyers came in the mail. One  implores us to vote on May 6th to give this dysfunctional administration more money to waste.

The other talks about “exceptional Accomplishments.” In the blurb about “Accessible Schools,” it says, “At Huron and Pioneer accessibility improvements were made to the curb ramps, sidewalks, parking areas and the routes of travel to and from both schools.” Of course, it leaves out the phrase, “under court order.” If it hadn’t been for the hard work of an Ann Arbor civil rights law firm,  the ADA would have been ignored. The AAPS was dragged kicking and screaming into doing the right thing.
