| Sadie Saulter discussion continues
The Pitt County Board of Education today will discuss again what to do with unfilled space at Sadie Saulter Elementary School. There are 224 K-5 students at the school, which has room for 418 children. Another 40 are attending preschool and special education programs at Sadie Saulter. Pitt County Schools' projections have 211 elementary students there next year, leaving as many as 12 rooms empty. The school board meets at 7:30 p.m. at the Pitt County Office Building, 1717 W. Fifth St. The board last took up the Saulter space issue Feb. 19. Schools staff reported at that meeting that a survey of county K-4 parents turned up little interest in an extended day-care program at Sadie Saulter. The board asked for more detail on a full range of options, including turning Sadie Saulter into a magnet school.

Google University on YouTube at Starbucks in Barnes and Noble
"Google University on YouTube at Starbucks in Barnes and Noble," would not only reduce the cost of education to students, the competition between professors to produce the best lectures would create vastly superior lectures, and the competition between for-profit institutions in order to attract students would produce vastly better outcomes for students, and therefore would even help American corporations, like Google itself, who need highly competent employees. Please call me or write me or email me if you would like to discuss this further, or if you think I might be of help. If I keep writing things like this, the tenure thing may not really be as bullet proof as I am hoping; so I may soon REALLY need that job. Sincerely Yours, Professor Carmine (Free Agent Philosophy Professor; Professor Without Borders) Associate Professor of Philosophy .
