Most speakers actually talked about year-round schools at Tuesday night's hearing at Leesville Road High School on school calendars.
As noted in today's article, the year-round calendars at Leesville Road elementary and middle schools dominated much of the discussion. It's a departure from the first three CEM meetings in which turnout was light and neighborhood schools and the diversity policy were discussed more than the calendar.
Both sides of the Leesville fight turned out in large numbers. They tried to out cheer each other when one of their speakers finished talking.
