[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mayor finally said open the schools.

Of course.  It's an election year.  Too little, too late and too obvious.

And parents will vote for him in droves.  :roll: [/quote]

Yeah, probably. The election is before schools need to reopen, so this should be a top issue. [b]You may not like Wilson, but I saw someone post this on OpenACPS earlier - the enemy of my enemy is my friend - which is a good reminder. [/b]At this point I don't about anything else in this city other than getting the schools open. Sorry - correction - getting the public schools open. Privates are doing just fine.[/quote]

The problem with using that trope is that [b]Wilson is a very close professional, political and personal ally of Hutchings.[/b]  He is not Hutchings' enemy by any means.  His new position on opening schools, after a year of closed schools, is politically expedient.  [/quote]

Where the heck do you get that idea? As far as I know, they didn't know each other until the former school board hired Hutchings after a national search conducted by consultants and the board. I haven't seen any evidence that they have any relationship beyond the normal professional interaction that any mayor has with any school superintendent.

And Wilson has two kids in ACPS, so he has just as much interest as the rest of us in getting kids back in school unlike SB members with kids in private schools or no kids in the schools at all. I've seen statements from him fairly consistently over the last several months talking about the importance of getting kids back in school. but the fact of the matter is City Council/mayor have no control over schools as a matter of state law.
