RFP Staff
♦ Below are photographs taken yesterday by one of our roaming “freelance” photographers of the current state of the yet to be completed “dome” on the Wallace Forum on 500 South Main. We look forward to a future panoramic pic of the dome nestled ludicrously between the area’s water towers, power lines, and a BBQ joint.
Wallace Education Forum’s Progress as of Friday February 26th:
Yesterday a “tempest in a teapot story” was aired about Salisbury’s High School’s Principal Luke Brown and Assistant Principal Michelle Taylor getting slap-on-the wrist suspensions (Brown was given a 3 day suspension with pay–shouldn’t this be called a 3 day vacation? And Taylor was suspended for 2 days without pay). From what the RFP learned last week out of Salisbury High the suspensions were due to the bench clearing basketball incident between Salisbury High School and North Rowan High School which terminated their playoff aspirations.
The league decision out of Raleigh was a worse overreaction than the actual tepid bench clearing. The consensus last week among the RFP staff members was that Rowan-Salisbury Schools athletic teams ought to withdraw from the league and start a league of their own, bringing in other school systems who desired far better athletic oversight. To end their seasons both Salisbury High School and North Rowan High School should shake hands and play ball in a game where the proceeds would go to both of their athletic departments.
