Three for Tuesday

Here's three things for today. I think, for once, money and the mayor and Council aren't included. But you never know.

It appears as if the gears are working toward the Academy School becoming a pilot school. State education leaders were on site last week, and now have a better understanding of what the city is facing there. The pilot program would help the School Department focus on the issues at the school, and create some flexibility to hopefully allow it to get better quickly. Hopefully it works, because something has to there.

The city has decided not to take the bats to Club Karma, which is closing soon. There was some concern the club didn't work with police after a recent incident. Consider the club is going away, why waste the energy on a questionable case? Hopefully, incoming Bourbon Street serves the city better.


Finally, someone set the library's drop-box on fire. So officials shut it down. Good grief.
