[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wasn't it lovely how Dan Storck basically blamed FH's problems on the poor brown families? He's real classy throwing them all under the bus:

"Some say the school’s demographics could play a significant role in the school’s faltering reputation.

School Board Chairman Daniel G. Storck, whose Mount Vernon district includes Fort Hunt, said the student population at Fort Hunt is a mix of middle-class children from the surrounding area south of Alexandria and a large group of children who are bused in from a nearby apartment complex for low-income families.

“The parents’ concerns are real,” said Storck, who said he has spoken to the principal and other ranking school administrators about Fort Hunt. “But it isn’t as simple as people want it to be as you address the needs of a school community that are very diverse.”"[/quote]

How is acknowledging that it take more than a school to create a community, 'throwing the poor brown families under the bus'?   It takes a community wide program, not just programs in the school to make real change.[/quote]
