In Closed Schools, History Lessons - washingtonpost.com

In Closed Schools, History Lessons - washingtonpost.com: "For Nancye Suggs, the call from D.C. Schools Chancellor Michelle A. Rhee's office about nearly two dozen schools she planned to close was bittersweet: Suggs said that she was heartbroken about the loss, in one fell swoop, of so much history but that she was ecstatic Rhee was offering her a chance to retrieve some of it."

This is a great opportunity for anyone interested in oral history and the history of education. There might be a dissertation here. I'm tempted to do it myself, but it's not really my specialty.
