I now have an RSS feed!
Plug this web address into your RSS reader, and you can receive Get on the Bus via RSS feed:
http://www.daytondailynews.com/blogs/content/shared-gen/blogs/dayton/education/index.xml
If you don’t know what RSS is, you can learn about it here. The link takes you to story entitled “RSS for Journalists,” but just translate that to mean “RSS for Dummies.” The explanation is helpful even if you’re not a journalist.
I set up RSS feeds for myself through bloglines. It’s really nice. You build a little menu of your favorite blogs or news sites. Then you can just click down the list and the content from those sites appears in an adjoining window. You can get headlines from the New York Times or entries from blogs like Get on the Bus.
And your list shows you when there is new content that you haven’t yet read. It’s a really handy way to keep up with blogs and news.

Again, the point needs to be made. Up to seven new schools may not be built because of the drop in enrollment brought about by the charter schools. Local taxpayers agreed to fund 40% of the project while the state of Ohio picks up the remaining 60%. What a magnificent opportunity to enhance the Dayton community for decades to come. Sadly, this great opportunity is being lost because Dayton is now the charter school capitol of the country. Non-Daytonians are fundamentally driving this charter school craze and long after most of these charter schools close (which they will) Dayton will be minus some new schools for their childen which should have been built. If I were a business leader in Dayton and in the surrounding community, I would certainly be very concerned about losing any new school buildings. Because new school buildings benefit the neighborhood, city, region, and state in ways a lot of people do not realize. And those benefits are good.
