What Oft Was Thought Makes Headlines

The notion that the Hudson City School District might close John L. Edwards School--now a primary school for K-2--has been around for years, but today it made headlines in the Register-Star: "District may close John L. Edwards school."

HCSD superintendent Maria Suttmeier is quoted in the article as once again referring to what goes on in the school district as "doing business," and Taghkanic resident Mary Udell called for raising school taxes to avoid having to close JLE. It will be remembered that just four years ago, in 2009, $36.6 million was spent on building construction and part of that was used to build a new wing on JLE.
