Your New Scoop Site

Welcome to Scoop!

To help you figure things out, there is a Scoop Admin Guide which can hopefully answer most of your questions.

Some tips:

Most of the layout is changed in "Blocks", found in the admin tools menu
Features can be turned on and off, and configured, in "Site Controls" in the admin tools menu
Stories have an "edit" link right beside the "Full Story" link on an index page, and right beside the "Post a Comment" link on the full story page. They can also be edited by clicking the story title in the "Story List" admin tool
Boxes are what allow you to write new features for Scoop; they require a knowledge of the perl programming language to work with effectively, although you can often make small changes without knowing much perl. If you would like a feature added but cannot program it yourself, ScoopHost does custom Scoop programming as one of its services.
If you aren't sure where to look for a particular feature or piece of display, try the "Search Admin Tools" link in the admin tools menu.

Do you really want to fix Detroit's Public Schools?

How about all under-performing/failing Michigan Public Schools?

With Labor Day winding down and summer officially now over, we can start focusing on the things needed to get Michigan going again.

Okay, okay, so our elected officials don't really start working until this Wednesday (must be nice), but now is a good as time as any to get the dialogue going here.

So far, on Lansing's Agenda for this fall:

-    Passing Freedom to Work legislation for Michigan.
-    Getting another bridge built across the Detroit River.
-    Making all of Michigan's Public Schools, Schools of Choice.

That last one sounds great on paper.

Not satisfied with how little Johnny's/Suzie's education is progressing?

Just yank `em out of their under-performing school and put them into any district you want that has an available seat.

Those other districts, you want the money. I know they do. So sit down, shut up and do as we in Lansing tell you to do.

How does that really solve the underlying problem?
