“the trip was denied by the Queen Anne's County Board of Education.”
OK, this is sort of true. Please note that the members of the Queen
Anne’s School Board are appointed by the governor. In QAC, we do not
elect them.
The Board Members voted to not support the trip (not unanimously) and
passed the decision on whether the kids could go back to the principal of
the Middle School. She said something like “of course they are going!”
At least this is what was reported by the local newspaper. I spoke to the
reporter who covered the meeting and he said that one of the school board
members was concerned that they “drive on the wrong side of the road” over
there. So much for govt. appointees. Sigh ....
