Earlier this year @VCU entered into a letter of intent to explore partnership opportunities with the #NavyHill developer NH District Corp. I asked to see it, wanting more info on how VCU stands to gain from this project. This was their response denying my FOIA request:
@8NEWS I’d like to see RPS consider free ways or value added ways to increase diversity. Weighted lotteries, magnet schools and language schools are not in the plans. Spend on teachers and students, not bus drivers and busses
Neighborhood schools vs integration. Educating black and white children together does not diminish the outcomes for the affluent. But relationships are made and these matter.
Disappointed Sen G.S. felt need to get involved in city level politics by disrupting our kids’ school day. Maybe better to help RPS by addressing state-level inequities? A lot of tough but civil debate on best path forward for RPS. This doesn’t help. @liz4schoolboard@JasonKamras
Facing a tough re-election fight, Sen. Glen Sturtevant declares his opposition to rezoning for two high-performing, majority-white Richmond elementary schools that might be merged with majority-black schools, @jmattingly306 and @gmoomaw report.

VCU has transplanted over 60 HCV positive donor kidneys into negative recipients dramatically reducing time on dialysis with excellent outcomes. Using our ultrashort DAA prophylaxis regimen we have reduced the need for full course DAA to less than 1 in 20.
@JasonKamras thanks for the NYT article in your Monday email. Interesting to learn about Massive Resistance 1.0, but question if it was fair to equate parents raising concerns ina public forum to people engaging in mass protests and shutting down/bombing elementary schools?
