<description><![CDATA[According to the Georgia DOE: (From Maureen Downey's &quot;Get Schooled&quot; blog)Just over 14% of schools are in Needs Improvement status this year, compared to 15.4% last year. Thirty-five schools across the state shook the Needs Improvement label by having made AYP for two consecutive years.&quot;The initial AYP results demonstrate that our schools are more focused than ever and that is translating into fewer schools in Needs Improvement status,&quot; said State School Superintendent Brad Bryant. &quot;However, the academic bar and the graduation rate requirement increased this year, leading to a smaller percentage of schools making AYP, which is something we will focus closely on over the next several months.&quot;<br/><br/>5 Vote(s) ]]></description>

Hank Johnson:&amp;nbsp;Dear Friends, A year and a half ago our economy was on the brink of collapse.&amp;nbsp; Since President Obama took office in 2009, we have stepped back&amp;nbsp;from     the brink of disaster.&amp;nbsp;Where we were losing hundreds of thousands of     jobs per month, now we are adding them, slowly but surely.&amp;nbsp;We have     laid the foundations for a lasting economic recovery.&amp;nbsp; But times are still tough.&amp;nbsp;Small businesses are still suffering.&amp;nbsp;     Unemployment remains outrageously high.&amp;nbsp;And I won't stop fighting for     economic recovery until every Fourth District resident looking for a job     finds one and small businesses are thriving once agai<br/><br/>5 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[After reading Commissioner Radar's Digest for July 2010, we're kinda confused. He writes: &quot;The emergency telephone fund covers 100 percent of all operating expenditures for the 911 system.&quot; &quot;In fact, the emergency telephone fund finished the last fiscal year with a surplus.&quot; If this is the case, then why are E911 operators being docked holiday pay? Or, are they being docked? Sanitation expenditures are self sustaining according to the commissioners. Same questions. If it is true, then why are they being docked pay? Or, are they not being docked?Same thing for Watershed. If neither communications,sanitation or watershed are not being docked, then are the commissioners being selective who get<br/><br/>5 Vote(s) ]]></description>
