The North Carolina style article notes the DC House approved a bill 71 to 25 on second reading to strike a provision allowing families to move children to another district by purchasing property valued at 300 dollars assessed value. Sponsor Rep Kirsh argues the rule was unfair and racial motivated. Critics say it protects existing school districts and could disrupt students' education.

Petition Drive Fights ETV Budget Cuts in South Carolina
About 10 000 Lowcountry residents sign petitions urging lawmakers to exempt educational television from state budget reductions. If approved, a 700000 cut could close WRET TV in Spartanburg and WSCI in Charleston Harbor, threatening Sesame Street and Mister Rogers programs and the summer ETV schedule. The drive expanded after concerns grew for preschool programming.
