Congressman Roby actually spent the entire afternoon with the citizenry of Crenshaw County. She was the guest at the joint Rotary-Kiwanis meeting, visited the town of Glenwood, spoke to an assembly at Brantley School and addressed the system's teachers via ACCESS labs. In addition to addressing the works of the committees that she currently serves on, she spoke of the reauthorization of No Child Left Behind. To the liking of our ears, she is in favor of abolishing AYP, granting more local control, and the reliance of growth models to determine the success of our efforts.
We appreciate the efforts of all who assisted in the visit, especially the faculty and staff of Brantley School and the members of Highland Home School and Luverne School who attended the after-school session. Additional thanks to Jay Mullis who performed during lunch, LHS seniors and BHS Ag students for representing their schools, and the brave BHS students who participated in the question and answer period.
We will share the details of the bills in which Congressman Roby spoke as soon as they are in hand.
