Apparently the Rhino’s Paul Clark stayed awake during the Guilford County Board of Education’s SMOD discussion.

Don’t know how he did it. I’m on my second cup of coffee and I damn near fell asleep just reading this:

The school board, by an 8-to-3 vote, approved for first reading a policy that, as it would be implemented by staff, would require half of the parents of a school’s student body to vote in a referendum on SMOD, and 75 percent of those who participate must vote yes before a school can adopt it. Schools would have to hold at least two parent meetings at least eight weeks before the first day of school, both to give parents a chance to have their say on the adoption of SMOD, and to hand out ballots for the referendum.

Got all that?
