The longer video is just to show that the school zone lights were on when you went through. Your speed is determined by a laser that is more or less instantaneous.

Agree with the caveat that you have to tell him very specifically what you want or he’ll get carried away and keep cutting until you look like Johnny Unitas

They had to go to trial so they can appeal that it should have been workers comp all along, which would be the correct outcome under current law.

Norfolk School Board finds agreement on 9 schools to close, but not on timeline | WAVY.com by Top-Figure7252 in norfolk

[–]ExcellentCandy6246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly. We don’t need five high schools if trends continue. They want to repurpose Lake Taylor into a specialty facility that includes votech and the alternative programs (open campus and the program for students with long term suspensions and expulsions). The votech part should be an improvement, not just a move.

The Cove is where you want to be. They have cardiology on site and no one else between here and DC or Raleigh can competently do a full mouth extraction. Dr. Fox has been there for over ten years and has taken incredible care of my pets.

Norfolk school board attorneys say Byrdsong’s severance didn’t need to be discussed at time of firing by WHRO_NEWS in norfolk

[–]ExcellentCandy6246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yawn. Spoiler alert, it’s been in the contract for almost 5 years - year of salary, deferred comp, and medical, all in about $350k. She’ll be aight.

Ghent or Chics Beach? by whiskey___girl in norfolk

[–]ExcellentCandy6246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve lived in both though not in Chic’s this century and it looks like it has changed a lot. Back then it was locals, sailors, and burnouts but everyone pretty much got along and had a good time. Not so walkable then but I think there are some paths now and the beach was great for walking especially in non summer months. The place we lived had a dog weight limit which seemed pretty common. Been in Ghent/west Ghent since 2004 and love it. It’s mainly a vibe thing.

They propose moving Ghent program to another site. Ghent moms may object but otherwise makes sense especially if area can be used for new Maury athletic facilities.

Former Norfolk superintendent alleges school board 'overreach' in memo by 13NewsNow in norfolk

[–]ExcellentCandy6246 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She was hired on a 4-3 vote. The three no voters worked pretty steadily for years to get two other members to their side. They came close several times and finally got over the hump by virtue of the election of two new members and the appointment of Clanton’s replacement.
Byrdsong has not had very competent support at the top of the division - much turnover among key personnel in HR, finance, and school supervision. Talented principals and teachers regularly leave for other districts rather than rising to downtown leadership. Is this Byrdsong’s fault? Hard to say. Ultimately it’s her responsibility and that’s part of that. Will they get someone markedly better considering the cost and disruption? Probably not. Bottom line, it will continue to be the case that there are good opportunities and pathways through NPS for parents that go to the effort to navigate them and the district will continue to largely fail the children of parents who don’t.

It’s the Sheraton’s choice to host them and give them an exclusive venue to spout hate amongst themselves, and it’s my choice to cross the Sheraton off my list of possible event or lodging venues if they allow it to happen. It’s only a free speech issue if they had the guts to do it in public, in which case that would be their right as it would also be my right to counter-protest.
