The Center for Disease
Control has declared an emergency in Norfolk.
Gov. Bob McDonnell has
called out the National Guard.
Local reservists of all
military branches have been mobilized.
Initial reports indicate
that 14 schools have been quarantined and no students, teachers or
administrators are allowed to enter or leave.
The press has been barred
from school grounds.
Norfolk police have
arrested several protesters for trespassing on school grounds, citing The
Patriot Act.
Hundred of protesters have
converged on City Hall, demanding answers.
“Save the children”
placards jam the courtyard of City Hall.
Mayor Paul Fraim, Vice
Mayor Anthony Burfoot, Superintendent Samuel King, school board members and
administrators are locked in a panic room at City Hall and won’t respond to the
public outcry.
President Obama, according
to the lame stream media, threatens to place a dome over the city unless
Teachers, Administrators, Curriculum Directors and the school board can find answers.
Obama, the press reported,
even threatened to bring in the National Education Association, prompting an
outcry from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
“We don’t need unions to
solve our problems,” an unidentified chamber official said. “They only make the
situation worse.”
US Navy ships and
submarines have departed Norfolk. A Dept of Defense spokesman, who asked not be
identified, said no time or date has been set yet for their return, pending a
resolution of the problem.
Homeowners, fearing the
worst, have put their houses on the market and fled to Virginia Beach and
Chesapeake where the schools have been deemed safe by local health and
educational officials.
An unidentified member of
the Norfolk school system said this situation is “abysmal.”
Early test scores of the
Standards of Learning, or SOLs, at Norfolk schools have fallen short of state
requirements.
The annual exam measures
student achievement in English, math, science, and history and determine schools’ accreditation
ratings.
The CDC suspect a virus
has infiltrated Facebook, Twitter and other social media and infected students.
CDC officials have
narrowed it down to sex-texted, according to early reports. But the CDC denies
the report, says it’s irresponsible to assume sex-texting is the cause.
A spokesperson for the
mayor said a tax hike is needed to raise the test scores of all Norfolk school
system students.
The tax hike will finance
the construction of four new schools, the spokesperson said in an email.
One City Council member
said “new technology is the well-spring of education and our children will
learn if we provide them with new technology.”
When questioned by a
reporter, the City Council member said: “If you asked me an intelligent
question, I might answer it.”
The reporter was later
fired for asking a stupid question, according to people familiar with the
situation.
Guards have been stationed
at the borders between Norfolk and other cities. The Downtown and MidTown
Tunnels have been closed.
Travelers rejoice, knowing
they don’t have to pay tolls.
Pressed for answers, the
Norfolk Federation of Teachers said: “We love our jobs. We love the salaries.
We love babysitting the children every day. We love the innovative teaching
methods administrators give us ever year. We love our old, decrepit schools. We
live in wondrous times.”

With some background in Master planning for school districts, the first question we always asked was how many administrators are in charge of a student.
ReplyDeleteIf a student could look up at how many people were "responsible" for them how many should they see?
In a perfect setup you have:
teacher
principle
superintendent
I cringe to think of the Administration Bus Line that is above every Norfolk Public School student. 4 cents for new schools? Yeah right, 4 cents to pay benefits for one more layer of administration.
