I think it's a shame when a town can't see beyond it's pocketbook.
When I think about the Brentwood, LI school district getting $200 million a year financial aid,(which doesn't include local tax revenue), and look at what they're turning out.

It was all due to a few small minded, mostly men, who's children had already gone through school or who had no kids (thank goodness for that) who only saw the little bit of money that could be saved..not to mention they have "plans" for that building.
My daughter, her father, his father and many cousins and aunts and uncles went to that school, we are all saddened by the closing of this beloved school.

Daily Horoscope for December 31

Capricorn

A certain person is strong-willed with the Full Moon in your emotional house of others. It's a lunar eclipse too, so this could lead to some ructions in which everyone becomes firmly entrenched in their own opinions and refuses to acknowledge anyone else's point of view. Get the arguments out of the way early on, so you can then concentrate on having a really enjoyable New Year's Eve.
