District Quotes from:
-
Columbia Quotes
Some of the battleground states, particularly those with other high-profile elections -- Florida, Michigan, Missouri and Washington -- may have higher turnout. But since about 33 states and the District of Columbia were not targeted by the campaigns, it is likely that turnout will fall in most of those states.

Alone Quotes
I was very honored to even be nominated for this award, let alone be named second for the Rotary Educator of the Year award. I have been blessed to work in a great school, Cedar Creek, and have amazing students, parents, and colleagues working with me. I wish there were enough awards to go around for so many other educators. Our district is full of people deserving of this award.
-
Class Quotes
I was happy with the way the district fell. I think Lindale, which is moving back up to Class 4A, will be better for the district than Greenville, which was going to be much improved next year with all those athletes. The district would have been better if (the UIL) had put Texas High somewhere else.

Best Quotes
I was going crazy (when Mullens fouled out). I've never heard Chris Beals yell so loud. In the fourth quarter, the memories of the past two district finals did kind of creep up. But those fears were kind of squelched because I trust my brothers. I looked around and I said these are my best friends. These are guys I have been playing with my entire life.
-
Bit Quotes
It does take a little bit of the pressure off when you might not be expected to be there. This town has had a lot of close calls, so it's great just to be able to go and be part of the regional tournament. It's nice walking around, and have everyone say how cool it was to see you win a district title, and wish you good luck.

Rochester ranks 11th in the nation in child poverty ? the district has achieved dramatic improvements in the number of students passing the statewide exams in the past three years.

Against Quotes
We need a little payback for Storm Lake last year. They kind of ruined our season and we haven't forgotten that. We want to show people we can play well against them. They're a very good team, a very physical team. They like to throw a lot, so it's going to give us a different set of problems. We want to rise to the occasion and come back with a victory in week two (of district play).
-
Alignment Quotes
That was my first thought. You also have six teams in this alignment which went at least two rounds deep in the playoffs. I think anyone of seven schools could win the district championship in football. If this is not the strongest alignment in the state, I'd like you to show me which one is.
-
Bring Quotes
I was really disappointed we went up some time from the district. We were definitely tapered for district so some times it's hard getting that extra week of the taper in. You know your time is not going to be going down as much. You still try to get focused and bring it down as much as you can.

Best Quotes
I would look at all the student's records, discuss the record with administration at the school, and then I make a decision on what I think is best for the student and the district, ... You don't have a cookie cutter that you can use when you're on a case-by-case basis. You have to trust that my professional judgment would be what's for the best for the district and the kid.

Appealing Quotes
Microsoft is appealing the District Court's preliminary ruling because Microsoft does not believe any preliminary injunction should have been ordered. We are confident that Microsoft has developed the best Java implementation within the terms of our contract with Sun and in the best interests of Java developers and consumers.

Certainly Quotes
Whoever wins the game certainly will have a big edge because even if you lost a game later, you would still have the edge in the tiebreaker by winning this game. Southwestern is a good team. But Russell County is also undefeated. Winning this game doesn't mean the district race is over.
-
Became Quotes
When the C-43 first became an Everglades restoration project, quantity was the issue. But then last summer we had all the problems with blue-green algae and concern over whether it would have low water quality. So at that point the district said we would include water-quality options when we are creating our test cell.
-
Board Quotes
When the board members examined the options, they decided that putting up a new building with all the latest technology would make the most sense. In the remodeling scenarios presented to the board, the district would spend a lot of money and still have old buildings that were just retrofitted. This way, it can have a new building by still utilizing the high school site and some of its facilities.
-
Fighting Quotes
We have one more shot to get in. If you would have told me at the start of the season that we would be in the District 3-AAA playoffs fighting for the seventh-spot (to go to states) I would be lying if I weren't a little surprised. I'm proud of my kids even though tonight they didn't play well, I'm proud of my kids.
-
Brother Quotes
When I think of Colonel Crawford it reminds me a lot of the district I grew up in, a rural district that has had success, and what my brother has been able to establish in four years at Western Reserve. It will take some time, but I think our kids are going to buy into our philosophy. I know it's the right fit.
