Hello!
I have found out that we may be moving to Madison this summer.
I am trying to do some research on the local elementary
schools. How are the districts in the area? Are there any

I would like to know what areas are good educationally
before we begin searching for a home.
Thanks!

I'm currently attending the training as a public school employee.
At first, I was quite impressed with the powerful examples and
experiences given. Personally I feel that there is therapeutic
value to examining race (and no, I don't necessarily agree with
Singleton's theories). As trainings have continued, h...See More
