Hampton County School District's Policies on International Teachers
Hampton County School District has covertly changed its policy on retaining and hiring foreign teachers. Before the two districts consolidated, Hampton County School District 2 regularly interviewed and hired foreign teachers as a part of the recruitment process. Lots of these international teachers came to the United States and experienced success in our classrooms: establishing and maintaining community connections with local staff and students, demonstrating professional growth, and increasing test scores in their subject areas.
Sadly, these teachers are being forced out of Hampton County School District with little to no explanation. The district is refusing to extend their stays, renew their contracts, etc. The "southside" schools...those in Estill...will suffer from this decision that was made by a few individuals (which does not reflect the views of our Estill community) and is not in the best interest of students attending local Estill schools.
Because it's a rural area with mostly African American students, the teachers that Estill attracts are mostly home-grown, from surrounding areas, and/or are international. Do we really want to trade in certified teachers and leave the education of our children in the hands of long-term substitutes who don't have degrees and lack experience? These decisions were made without consulting the community or any attempts to explain the reasoning to our community. Estill: let's stand for something or we will continue to fall for anything in the midst of this take-over disguised as consolidation.
Let's break the SILENCE and SPEAK through our SIGNATURES; signing this petition means that you would like Hampton County School District's Board of Education to reconsider their recent policies on international teachers and allow the Estill area to keep their foreign teachers, plus hire more as needed.

Tell Dollar General You Support Local Businesses

This corporate owned box store not only threatens our family owned and operated businesses in the area, but also the local suppliers. In addition, it would take away from the “up north feel” o

Petition for Gates to be Operational in El Prado Pod and Closed outside of Construction Hours (6pm-6am)
The developer has told us that they will not start closing our gates for our security until the construction of all the homes in our pod is complete. We have already had burglaries in our pod that may have been prevented if we had our gates closed during that time. I am asking you to sign this petition and if we get all of our neighbors in El Prado to sign, maybe that will motivate the Developer to get our gates working now vs. waiting until the pod has finished building all the homes. We alread

Change the name of Shady Avenue in Brownsville, PA to Ray Charles Boulevard
In 1958, Ray Charles and The Raelettes were playing at the Lennox Club, which was located on Shady Avenue in Brownsville. Finishing their set early, Ray realized that there was still some time to kill. Ray turned to the band and backup singers and told them to follow him. What happened next was musical history. Ray began to play a driving tune and the band joined in along with The Raelettes. The crowd rose to their feet and danced and cheered. The song was received so well that Ray decided to re
