Miami-Dade County Public School Board has been the hot topic all last week since 3 members of the board sought to terminate current Superintendent Rudy Crew. So of course the board meeting tonight was full of suspense, with voices heard from those for and against Dr. Crew's termination. The big names attended, such as Bishop Victor Curry of Miami-Dade NAACP, and Congressman Kendrick Meeks in defense of Dr. Crew. Most surprising though were several student speakers, include one from Miami Senior High School, asking Dr. Crew to resign and requesting a change of guard in that position. How interesting that the students, whose best interest is supposed to be at heart, were apart of the "handful" of those wanting Crew out according to the REPORT in The Miami Herald. Understandably, it is the job of adults and those in public service to make decisions on issues such as those for the school districts. But it wouldn't hurt to survey the schools and ask the people you are supposed to be there for, THE STUDENTS. They have opinions on both sides of the issue, and they know more we think.
