HOLY COW! WE DID IT!!!!!! Check this out!

I know many, many of you helped in DU'ing the polls regarding the closing of O.L. Slaton Junior High in Lubbock Texas. At 12:45 today, I got a call to come to central office for a press conference.

WE WON! They backed off and aren't closing the school. I've been on the phone this afternoon with board members, etc... Sounds like it's the real deal.

We're so proud of everyone that helped in this and I'm so happy to have DU to help!

of our kids and the group of parents that came together as one on this. I'm so inspired by it all.

10. First we shut down the Indiana "unauthorized reproduction" law, now this!

Well, YOU'RE the ones you said that there was no reason why the school and the communications center they planned couldn't co-exist--all we did was agree with you?

12. Congratulations RareLubbockDem!

I'm sure the parents and kids rallying, speaking out, writing and calling was the real difference. But if we helped even a little bit we were happy to do so.

Closing the school made no sense. Way to stick together on this.

the six million dollar price tag.
