Oh well, cannot get it too work. However, it shows 9 shooting in the last year in that area.
And that cannot be good.

That said, Cville City schools is at work in Clark. After 5 principals in 3 years, they moved over a proven leader who just finished turning around another local school and brought in a new Assist. Principal (ex-military with tons of teaching experience in her past as well) from outside the area.
TOugh way for the new ladies to start the school year.

What part of, ” nine shootings cannot be good,” seems silly? You must be from a tough part of the world if 9 shootings seem silly.
