(For the record, I toured Douglass on Oct. 7th in keeping with my plan to visit every school in our district this year. To date I have met with principals and observed classes at:  Douglass, Sarah Pyle, Christina High, Glasgow High, Brader Elem, West Park Elem, Pulaski, Elem and Elbert Palmer Elem.  I am scheduled for Jones Elementary this week.)
