Kilroy's baking a cake (he broke the egg in Reach Story) - Get all the gooey goodness here:

In this latest twist, Reach wins a one year reprieve as DOE is ordered by the US District Court of Delaware to permit the school to continue operating with "reasonable conditions." However, parts of the suit were thrown out although the adjudicator opined a route for Individuals to pick-up the suit where it has been determined that Reach itself, as an entity of the state, cannot sue the state.
Okay, girls, you've scored a goal and left your opponent, Gov. Markell, along with his hand-picked minion of public education destruction, the DE Sec. of Education, a pair of black eyes. They are re-grouping and you can bet the aforementioned restrictions are going include some doozies. While it's important to mark this date with celebration, you can't let your win knock you off your game. You and I both know that student testing data - specifically whatever high-stakes test they throw at you - are your challenge. And even though those of us with even a little bit of common sense know that those tests are meaningless as an assessment of student learning (they only measure what you've learned if you can express that knowledge in the manner the test demands - and these tests are in no way indicators of the quality of the actual teaching you are receiving), you're are going have to find a way to game that test if you are to have any hope of a 2015-16 school year.
Good Luck!
