real estate Dallas
A fast-growing real estate market, Dallas offers contemporary metropolitan living in the revived downtown district that anchors the city center. Renovated lofts are a mainstay of the new urban living available in downtown Dallas along with high-rise condos and townhomes offering hip and affordable housing amidst Dallas’ nightlife, restaurants and shops. Oak Lawn, Uptown Dallas and the West End Historic and Arts Districts are spearheading the renewal of a vibrant city center. Popular suburbs surround Dallas from trendy University Park and Cockrell Hill to the expansive homes of Preston Hollow and Lake Highlands.
The Resume of Principal Susan Walker [09/2010]<p><img src="http://www.dallas.org/sites/default/files/walker-mug.jpg" align="right" hspace="8"> <p>Sometimes we wonder why we celebrate when DISD <a href="http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/latestnews/stories/022509dneduurbanschools.f1d859.html" target="_blank">rises from being in the top 99% of its class to the top 90%</a> (translation: makes it from the bottom 1% to the bottom 10%). After all, wasn't DISD supposed to be "the best urban school district in America by 2010?"</p> <p>In 2008, we ran a story <a href="http://www.dallas.org/node/545">questioning exactly what DISD's Office of Professional Responsibility</a> did for the District--and who they did it for. </p> <p>Perhaps it's also somewhat ironic that <strong>OPR Chief Don Smith</strong>, who publishes his office's newsletter <em>Integrity Insights</em> wrote a warning to District staff in April:</p> <p> <blockquote><em>The altering or falsification of any school record is addressed not only in Dallas ISD policies, but also in the State of Texas Penal Code which outlines the criminal charges relating to falsified school records.</em></p></blockquote></p> <p>Enter <a href="http://www.dallas.org/node/790">OPR Case Number 8171</a> and the investigation of Bryan Adams High School Principal <strong>Susan Yarbrough Walker</strong>.</p> <p><a href="http://www.dallas.org/node/790">read more</a></p>
