 UNITARY STATUS UPDATEReturn to index of stories... |
KELI.THE MADISON COUNTY COMMISSION IS NOW A PARTY IN THE 45-YEAR UNITARY STATUS LAWSUIT. ONE COUNTY COMMISSIONER SAYS THIS MEANS SCHOOL LEADERS ARE A STEP CLOSER TO HAVING MORE AUTHORITY TO MAKE ITS OWN DECISIONS, WHICH RIGHT NOW IS NOT THE CASE. MOST EVERY DECISION MADE BY THE SCHOOL BOARD.THAT EFFECTS THE STUDENTS OF THE JACKSON-MADISON COUNTY SYSTEM.SUCH AS BUILDING A NEW SCHOOL.MUST HAVE FEDERAL APPROVAL BECAUSE OF A DESEGREGATION LAWSUIT FILED BY THE NAACP. *SOT*17:48:38 WE NEED TO REMOVE ALL OF THAT. WE NEED TO LET TEACHERS TEACH, LET PRINCIPALS BE PRINCIPALS. WE NEED TO GET THE POLITICS OUT OF SCHOOLS AND LET THE CHILD RECEIVE THE VERY BEST EDUCATION POSSIBLE. THIS WEEK, A FEDERAL JUDGE ADDED THE MADISON COUNTY COMMISSION AS A DEFENDANT TO THE LAWSUIT.WHICH NOW PUTS COMMISSIONERS AT THE NEGOTIATING TABLE FOR UNITARY STATUS. *SOT* 17:48:04-13 I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT RULING BECAUSE I THINK IT'S A VERY POSITIVE MOVE FOR THE SCHOOL SYSTEM FOR THE FOLKS IN MADISON COUNTY AND FOR ALL CONCERNED. BUT ACCORDING TO HARRELL CARTER.WHO'S PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL NAACP CHAPTER.THE COMMISSION IS PART OF THE PROBLEM. *SOT* 18:02:07-17 36% OF OUR STUDENTS HERE ARE UNDEREDUCATED IN THIS SYSTEM. THERE'S NO REASON WHY IT SHOULD BE EXCEPT THAT WE DON'T HAVE THE PROPER FUNDING FOR IT, THE COUNTY'S THE PROPER FUNDING SOURCE. CARTER SAYS THE N-DOUBLE-A-C-P IS NOT MAKING A PUBLIC COMMENT AT THIS TIME ABOUT THE JUDGE'S DECISION.BUT SAYS HE WANTS TO ACHIEVE UNITARY STATUS. *SOT*18:06:37-4818:06:07-17 TO DEAL WITH OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM IN A WAY WE SEE FIT AS FAR AS A COUNTY. WE HAVE NOT DONE A GOOD JOB IN THE PAST BECAUSE OF DISCRIMINATION PRACTICES AND TAHT'S WHAT THE LAWSUIT IS ALL ABOUT. |

IT'S ALMOST REQUIRED. SOT:20: 30:26:28 " OUR PRESIDENT FEELS THAT THE RIGHT TO VOTE IS A FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT. AND IT SHOULD BE EXCERESISED BY ALL PERSONS, PARTICULARLY STUDENTS. WHICH WILL GET THEM IN THE MINDSET TO FULFILL THEIR CIVIC RESPONSIBILITIES." THE COLLEGE REGISTRERED 400 NEW VOTERS DURING COLLEGE REGISTRATION. STUDENTS SAY THEY THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA. SOT: 20:19:08:02 " IT'S GOOD. IT ALLOWS THE YOUNGER PEOPLE TO HAVE A VOICE AND OPINION ON THE UPCOMING ELECTION, CONSIDERING IN THE LAST ELCTION, NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE 18 OR OLDER VOTED. AND THAT GIVES US A CHANCE TO GIVE OUR OPINION AND TO CHOOSE WHO WE WANT TO BE OUR NATION'S NEXT LEADER." KIM BUCKLEY WORKS IN THE MADISON COUNTY ELECTION COMMISSION OFFICE. SHE SAYS SHE HAS NOTICED AN INCREASE IN THE AMOUNT OF VOTERS SINCE THE EARLY AUGUST ELECTIONS. . TO BE EXACT. 602 NEW VOTERS. 20 PERCENT ARE 18-YEAR-OLDS. BUT BUCKLEY SAYS SHE'S WORRIED EVERYONE WON'T BE PREPARED. SOT: 20:08:39:03 " THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE THAT WE FACE ON ELECTION DAY, AND I THINK ANY COUNTY IN TN DOES. IS VOTERS WHO HAVE NOT CHANGED THEIR ADDRESS." BUCKLEY SAYS THE WRONG INFORMATION COULD KEEP YOU FROM CASTING YOUR VOTE COME NOVEMBER. UPDATING YOUR INFORMATION IS AS SIMPLE AS STOPPING BY YOUR COUNTY'S ELECTION OFFICE. SO HOW IS LANE COLLEGE GOING TO MAKE SURE THEIR STUDENTS ARE PREPARED? SOT: 20:25:14:29 " BETWEEN NOW AND THE TIME, 30 DAYS PRIOR TO THE ELECTION IN NOVEMBER, WE WILL BE INSTITUING THE REGISTRATION PROCESS." SOT: " IN MADISON COUNTY, IT'LL BE A HEAVY VOTE, A HEAVY VOTE FROM THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY BECAUSE AFRICAN AMERICANS ARE PROUD TO HAVE AN AFRICAN AMERICAN WHO IS RUNNING FOR TOP OFFICE AND THAT HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE."
