Minority teachers act as cultural interpreters for the entire school community. As you increase the number of diverse staff members, you increase the cultural competency of all staff and students, if they are willing to learn from each other.

They (state school board members) are allowing the intelligent-design minority to bypass the scientific community. While not specifically mentioning religious concepts, it's advancing a sectarian religious view. They're treading on some constitutional grounds here.

I still love this school and I love all the teachers and they love me. So, it's kinda hard for me to say goodbye to the school.

We would like to build a sustainable school facility in each community, provide training to local teachers and supply children with a sufficient amount of educational supplies.

We're going to be working with a community committee, a committee of people from the school district, teachers, support staff, all of them will collaborate to look through the applications, then we will umm whittle it down to a group of 6 we hope sometime toward the end of September.

They have all the ingredients for a successful school - good teachers who are highly qualified, total community support, and students who want to learn.
