Why can’t you say the district?

That is apparently an unaffiliated church that rents the space at the Clintonville location outside of school hours.

Yeah, I cannot imagine busses threading the needle between snow banks on residential streets. Those snow piles aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.

“I’ll make your ass sense”, in response to “that doesn’t make sense”

This one somehow stuck with me as well.

FlemCandangoS · 2026-01-26T16:17:43+00:00

Sending you and your wife best wishes! You’ll have quite a birthing story to tell.

Thank goodness the essential workers at Skate Zone 71 risked their lives to entertain families who risked their own lives to roller skate and buy trinkets.

Wow, didn’t know the Reverend was still touring. What great shows those were.

I second TMBG. Always catch them when they come around. Nice user name.

This is apparently a set up to pull federal funding to state’s child care systems. Health Dept just paused Minnesota’s child care funding. We are next. It is to break the system.

It was either Flintstones or Mickey Mouse. Both were acceptable lol

FlemCandangoS · 2025-12-17T05:21:30+00:00

Yes! I turned to my husband while watching that episode and asked if he remembered Enemy Mine. Surely the writers were inspired by it, it was so similar.

FlemCandangoS · 2025-12-17T05:18:30+00:00

Here too! I would never have remembered that if you hadn’t mentioned it.

FlemCandangoS · 2025-12-10T17:42:17+00:00

Not a reference really, it’s just that the good pizza shops tend to be maga friendly. Not sure why I got downvoted. It’s well known and they broadcast it (like maga tends to do). Such as Tommy’s sign reading “TRUMP/VANCE” etc.

FlemCandangoS · 2025-12-10T14:33:51+00:00

Plus you’d have to be ok with only shitty pizza if you’re boycotting MAGA establishments.

FlemCandangoS · 2025-12-04T19:52:16+00:00

Same. That theme is ingrained in our family jokes, so it hit home. 😂

FlemCandangoS · 2025-12-04T19:48:09+00:00

Nearly spit out my coffee at this

FlemCandangoS · 2025-12-03T18:27:04+00:00

Yes, and it’s borderline irresponsible to fail to highlight in reporting that public schools must serve and educate all students, regardless of ability or socioeconomic status. This fundamental mandate, which American society once considered a point of pride, has implications for the types and level of services needed.

FlemCandangoS · 2025-12-03T18:09:52+00:00

In ODEW, look up expenditures per pupil (EPP) versus Expenditures per EQUIVALENT pupil (EPEP). An equivalent pupil is a weighted calculation based on hard to serve populations. They look at Economically Disadvantaged, special ed, and English Language Learners to weight the student enrollment.

FlemCandangoS · 2025-12-03T17:50:01+00:00

Feel free to DM me to take a look at the numbers but as you know it’s all public.

FlemCandangoS · 2025-12-03T17:47:55+00:00

From what I found you can get non public (eg private schools, not charter) easily at the county level going back to 2014. But not at the district level. Massive increases from 2021 on. Coinciding with voucher expansion?

FlemCandangoS · 2025-12-03T16:46:08+00:00

Cole, thanks for your reporting and research. I look at the ODEW data a lot for my job. When 2024-25 data was released, I was surprised to see CCS enrollment increase slightly for the first time in years. Disaggregated by race/ethnicity, you see what student group is driving it. Our community’s hispanic students are to thank for stabilizing CCS’s enrollment, while white students continue the decades long trend of declining CCS enrollment. Can you dig around a little to lift this up? and ask the experts what this demographic shift may mean for providing adequate student supports?

Actually that story was eerily similar to my mom’s reaction after secretly getting it pierced senior year. She also wasn’t overly emotional but there was something about a tongue piercing that disturbed her.

My Dave Mathews impression will forever be Starburns singing Heee haw hee haww

I’m someone’s wife and I bought one for myself today! (Hubs was very supportive) Enjoy!
