REGARDING:
“Alabama Students should attend their Schools! they pay -0- taxes in Florida”
Should is such a STRONG word, but probably correct. Grow where you are planted.
On the other hand they don’t actually pay ZERO taxes since part of our economic system involves sales taxes and Alabamians do often buy taxable items in Florida–as do people from all over the country.
Not sure about the comment concerning failing Schools in escambia County, but I do believe that Alabama Students should attend their Schools! they pay -0- taxes in Florida……………………………………………..
OMG….I remember at Century High School….Many Many years ago….He is going….Hope he can make an improvement in the school…They obviously need it……..I really believe that with these escambia schools failing…All these students are gonna be knocking down doors at Flomaton High School…..I truly hope if all these students flock to Flomaton, it does not affect Flomaton’s good standing with their scores…..
WOOHOO Coach Jones. He was my 8th grade Civics teacher an the old Carver Middle School in Century, and I loved him. Great teacher and role model.
congratulations to Mrs. Shuford! The schhol is still in great hands…..from one of your favorite subs!
