Woodlan Junior-Senior High Moves to Fort Wayne?

Tonights News-Sentinel has an article about Fort Wayne being a finalist in the All-America City competition this week in Florida. One paragraph states that Sheena Tracy and Cheyenne Hale will be presenting Fort Wayne’s “engagement of youth” activities by talking about a program, “Thinking Errors” which the article says is at Woodlan Junior-Senior High School. When I last looked, this high school is in the East Allen County School system and is not located in Fort Wayne.

I guess that our schools in Fort Wayne, including FWCS plus our non-public schools, are not involved in any youth engagement activities. ( This is one of the three areas that a city has to be active in to qualify for the award).

So what does this say about Fort Wayne? Doesn’t our city government know that we do not have unigov in Allen County? There are youth engaging activities in our city- but they do not involve any governmental funtions and I guess therefore out mayor has no pride in them. That’s the “not-invented-here” syndrome in action!
