MA is bizarre, and yes, within the limits of court decisions, each district
makes its own policy. Unfortunately, many of the superintendents don't know
what those limits are. Peabody, where this guy is superintendent has another
twist on it-- you have to report to the principal of the school your kid
would have gone, and they know even less, AND they frankly have other stuff
to do.

We live in Salem, which is actually very good.

Oh, Alice's evil bitchiness has never actually been affected in any way with
the facts.
