Do you think Duluth public schools are making
progress in math, reading participation, attendance and graduation?
Yes
27.04%
No
72.96%
Total Votes: 662
Note: that
whenever 70 percent of people think you are doing a lousy job educating
children, a new school board is the likely outcome. I think that the
Duluth Schools are doing pretty well but they will be hard pressed to
continue doing well when the Board slashes $11 million or nearly 10% of
the classroom budget away.
