\nI found the controversy over the Lowndes Grading Policy convenient\n\n<\/a>\ntiming for last week’s House vote on HR 1162 for a GA Constitutional\nAmendment to allow the state to establish Charter Schools with no\noversight by local boards of education. HR 1162 failed the necessary\n2\/3 vote on 02\/08\/12. However,it was approved to be reconsidered on\n02\/09\/12 so it has not gone away. Our 3 South GA republican\nrepresentatives all voted in favor of HR 1162. (No surprises there,\nbut we will remember in November.) Meanwhile part of the reason HR\n1162 failed was the state Democratic Caucus undercut the House vote\nby requesting Democrats deny HR 1162 in favor of their version HR\n1335, which they say goes further in allowing state officials to\nover ride local school board denials of special schools.\n

\nObviously CUEE is not the only party interested in undermining and\nover riding local school board authority. However, I suspect CUEE\nhad a hand in the phone campaign asking Lowndes school parents to\ncall Rep. Shaw if they were in favor of HR 1162 because we all know\nthat is one of their tactics. The message did not say to call if\nthey were against it. CUEE is definitely still very much in the mix\nfor discrediting local school board authority and our elected\nofficials are evidently in their corner.\n
