We consulted with the Gilbert dept. of health, CDC and county mayors before making a deci- sion,” said Gilbert. “We are a year away from a vaccine, so we have to learn to live with coronavirus.We made an educated decision and moved down the field that way.” Jazz in the Gardens is scheduled to take place March 14-15 at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens.

  • Megan Thee Stallion, Fever
    REVIEWS Megan Thee Stallion Fever 8.0 1501 CERTIFIED / 300 ENTERTAINMENT • 2019 BY: TAYLOR CRUMPTON / MAY 23 2019 RAP Megan Thee Stallion’s debut is steeped in sex, pimpin, and power; it sounds like a once and future Houston rap classic. hen MeganMeganMegan TheeTheeThee StallionStallionStallion’s “Big Ole Freak” landed on Billboard’s Hot 100 in April, it was a testament to years of viral W freestyles and her devoted “hotties,” whose faithful support on social media helped the song rise to mainstream recognition. The 24- year-old has been prolific—her evolution is displayed through the invention of various rap personas, such as Tina Snow, Megan Thee Stallion, and Hot Girl Meg, the turn-up queen with serious ambition on her mind. “We have so many legends and so many greats,” she recently said of her hometown of Houston, Texas. “But I don’t feel like we ever really had a female rapper from Houston or Texas shut that shit down.” With her debut project Fever, she hopes to succeedMegan in doing Thee just Stallion that. At its core is the intersection of two beautiful rap legacies: the women rap tradition started by MCMCMC LyteLyteLyte and QueenQueenQueen LatifahLatifahLatifah, and Southern rap dynasty ushered in by Houston’s GetoGetoGeto BoysBoysBoys and UndergroundUndergroundUnderground KingsKingsKings. From the first song, Megan weaponizes misogynymisogynymisogyny through the execution of bars worthy of XXL Freshman Class President. South Park’s influence, home to fellow Houston legends ScarfaceScarfaceScarface and Lil’Lil’Lil’ KekeKekeKeke, is felt throughout “Hood Rat Shit,” which transitions into an ass-and clit-eating tutorial for her male tricks on “Pimpin,” where the spirit of Houston’s pimp tradition is embedded within every word.

PUB DATE Oct 87 NOTE 278p. PUB TYPE Reports - Descriptive (141) MRS PRICE MF01/PC12 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Decentralization; Elementary Secondary Education; *Institutional Autonomy; *Participative Decision Making; *School Based Management; School Organization; Teacher Influence; *Teacher Participation IDENTIFIERS *Dade County Public Schools FL ABSTRACT The Dade County (Florida) Public School system has had various types of school-based management (SBM) procedures in operation since 1974. During the 1985-86 school year, a committee of principals and other administrators reviewed the concepts of SBM from a different viewpoint, using various materials that addressed the professionalization of education and of teaching. The pilot project developed by this committee was approved by the Dade County School Board in July 1986. This report contains documents and materials related to the pilot project now in progress. Included are a summary and principles of SBM and shared decision making (SDM); requests for proposals to schools that wish to participate; a discussion of budget procedures under the school-based system; outlines of a documentation process and an evaluation plan; and other practical documents that can be used by school systems in their efforts to implement an SBM/SDM system.

Management of schools is totally independent of metropolitan and city governments. The metropolitan government collects the school tax for the school system, but exercises no control over its use. The nine-member School Board is elected by single member districts. Regular, open meetings are generally held in the Board auditorium each month on a Wednesday at one o’clock. Responsibility for administration of schools is vested in the District Superintendent, appointed by the Board. Each of the district’s schools is assigned to one of six Access Centers, which provide support for schools, advocacy for students and parents, and partnerships with businesses.
