Social discussion of CS in K-12

["Reese, George Clifford" <reese AT illinois.edu>]

Hi Todd,

Lasalle Peru is definitely not as diverse as Champaign, and I did check their 
report card
http://www.illinoisreportcard.com/District.aspx?districtId=35050124002 
compared with Champaign
http://www.illinoisreportcard.com/District.aspx?districtId=35050124002

They have about half the numbers looking at mobility and low SES. 
Still, they're not New Trier or Naperville. 

George

Thanks for sending this George.  In my opinion this is a very "centrist" 
position that the superintendent is taking, though I would imagine many 
others would not see it that way.  I would love to know the backstory (if 
any) behind this being circulated.  It is, I believe, not inconsequential 
that it is coming from a very small district and thus, what is most probably 
a rather homogeneous demographic relative to a larger system like CPS or even 
Unit Four, where we would find a presumably greater divergence in viewpoints 
and political pressures.   Nonetheless, it is very refreshing. 
Hope everyone is having a great weekend, Todd
