State Takes Over York City Schools:


YORK CITY, Pa. —The fate of York City School District has been decided. A judge ruled Friday that the state will take over the district for three years effective immediately.

The judge's order names David Meckley as receiver. Meckley is the state-appointed recovery officer and has been overseeing the district's financial recovery.

Meckley advocates a total conversion of the district's eight schools into an all charter school district. As receiver, he assumes most powers of the York School Board except the power to levy and raise taxes.

Meckley's powers take affect immediately.

The attorney for the York City School District has filed an appeal.

This really bites it. Corbutt couldn't wait to hand over York schools to his money-hungry charter cronies. Wolf wanted him to hold off so he could restore funding.

Thanks for the update!

I was wondering how you were doing. Glad you are home for Christmas and I hope you continue your recovery. Sounds like you are on your way!

Merry Christmas!

"Undercover Boss"

I never watched this show before tonight. I had to watch because the boss was the mayor of Pittsburgh. It was really a nice show. I loved how he made the city employees' dreams happen at the end.

The city looked beautiful and the people were all such hard workers.

I hate just about all car ads.

Annoying music, annoying people. Even the cars are annoying.

But the absolute worst ones are for Cialis.
