Well worth the time to watch the video. You can't help but be struck by Dr. Lane's appearance in it and what she had to say. It will make you wonder what her opinion was during the discussions leading up to the 2008 vote.

Will any school ever be able to capture the spirit of a Schenley?

Please. Dr. Lane was brutally loyal to the Roosevelt/Fischetti/Weiss/Broad/Gates agenda.

Dr. Lane was coached as to what to say... Or used the testimonies of those who spoke at public hearings to come across as a reasonable, sympathetic person. If she had felt the way she spoke in the film, Schenley would already be reopened.

Linda Lane is an expert in public relations. The primary presentation is always being all things to all people. Unfortunately, there is no follow-through on leading the way to equity and excellence for all of Pittsburgh's children which would, should, could include the African-American children which constitute the majority of PPS and who have been woefully neglected by the current administration and fall far below the district's minority student population in academic achievement. After more than six years as PPS's lead educator (deputy and superintendent) there are no excuses for failing, year after year, to advance achievement in real and substantive ways.

Thank you for posting this and thank you to all of the people responsible for the documentary getting made. Unfortunately, we have too many stories like this to tell here. Soon other cities will be following our lead. This documentary could be the beginning of a new video genre, Remembering Closed Schools. Corporate media is a sham
