The State of the Bellevue School District
A frequent visitor to the BBRC, Mike Riley, Superintendent of the Bellevue School District since 1996, brought the Club up to date on the state of education in the Bellevue community. Mike, introduced by his former Deputy Superintendent, Howard Johnson, is beginning his seventh year as leader of the school district.
After having taught and worked as a school principal in Chicago and then in administration at the Fredrick, Maryland, Baltimore County School District, where he served over 100,000 students, according to HoJo, Dr. Riley arrived in Bellevue with “grand ideas, hinging on the elevation of duties of school principals and a program to increase academic performance. All of this costs money, and as Deputy Superintendent, it was my job to warn Mike about the lack of funds. MORE

OOTNSPAOAS (One or Two-Name Schools Pitted Against One Another Scores)
Time ran out with the ball on the goal line. Yale beat Brown, Alfred downed Thiel, Bates blanked Hamilton, Johns Hopkins squeaked by Franklin & Marshall, Rowan edged William Paterson, and Washington & Lee beat Emory & Henry. That oughta ‘bout do it for the season, fans. But, here’s a late score you won’t believe: Nazarene 42, Assemblies of God, 0!
Tune in again next season, when Stephen F. Austin takes on Sam Houston! And Zidar wins a rematch with Deasy!
