Today’s Wilmer-Hutchins story: “After being introduced to the Wilmer-Hutchins school board they will govern, one of the district’s new state-appointed managers had something to tell trustees. ‘God help us,’ businessman Albert Black said. His statement – which prompted supportive noises from the audience at Monday night’s meeting – reflected the size of the task ahead for the state takeover team. It will be taking over a district with an indicted superintendent, collapsing buildings, a looming cheating scandal and more bills than cash.
If all goes according to plan, there may be another good one in tomorrow’s paper.
