It’s happening.
The transformation of two of our city’s most troubled inner-city schools into performing, safe and viable places of education is happening. Slowly, painfully, like thawing an iceberg or moving stones away from a tomb.
But it’s happening. The outlook for Brainerd High and Howard School of Academics and Technology is better than in previous years.
Such work takes a village of teachers, staff and parents, but rarely can it happen without leadership, like Dr. Paul Smith at Howard, a principal I’ve written about in previous columns.
And Charles Joynes at Brainerd.
