The state screwed up and had to revise the report. There was only ONE that was improperly licensed and he is now gone. Typical liberal media. Keep exemplifying the stereotype...lies and spin. I know many people that have went to that school and they are now highly educated professionals. Try visiting Russell and you might change your mind.

It would be a shame to see the town vanish because where the schools are the people are. The state would be destroying a community.
