Watch the racism. I was a FARMS, speak (only) English, have a doctoral degree, run a company, AND have time to debate APS school policy.

And FARMS is a FEDERAL program, not state, not local. did you even go to college? Did you sleep through high school civics class?

Nation wide, there are far more white people on the dole than non english speakers of any color. But please, don't let facts get in the way of your blatant racism.

"Randolph — which has a sizable population of English-language learners and students living in poverty"

“We firmly believe that the leadership of an elementary school should be judged on a wide range of factors, with student achievement being a critical, but not sole, element,” they wrote in the letter.

They pointed out that Randolph’s demographics differ significantly from the rest of the county: 74 percent of children qualified for free- and reduced-price meals, and nearly 80 percent of kindergartners through fifth-graders were considered “limited English proficient” last school year, according to state data.

Is the PTA racist for pointing out that nearly 80% of the students are "limited English proficient" at Randolph?
