Wow - they must have real expensive buildings to get an award like that. That's why we need to rebuild all of Wicomico County schools, to improve the education of our kids.

More public school BS. It's Blue Ribbon Schools of Excellence INC. Get it? Incorporated-It's a for profit business that charges for this supposed wonderful distinction.


Cost copied directly from the Blue Ribbon site: Additionally the company charges $1500/per "assessor" for "consulting expenses." This money (and all the other wasteful spending) needs to be spent on school security and not some for profit company who lobby politicians, and the politicians push this BS so they can brag about having a "blue ribbon" school which in reality means absolutely nothing.
