Was it last week that the school board
talked about whether to hold class on Election Day? I can't remember.
I know it's come up a couple of times (as folks talk about how and
where to extend the school year by five days).
Anyhoo, Knox County's head
election honcho, Clifford Rodgers doesn't think it's such a slick
idea.
And he says so in a two-page letter he
sent to school Superintendent Jim McIntyre more than a month ago.
Click right smack here for that bad
boy.
As Cliff told me, he sent the letter to
“refresh their memories about the realities of conducting elections
during a school day.”
In the memo, which you really should
read, he says that opening schools on election day will create
problems that impact voters, students and teachers. He talks about
accessibility, security and insanity.
(OK, I made up that last one.)
Still, it's a good read. Check it out.
(On a side note, I swiped the above photo from the Metro Pulse, but we own 'em, so . . . .)
