[edit] The Rosy Tint of Things

It's fantastic that someone from Black River decided to post about the glory of their own school. However, I think it'd be relevant that the history section include the topic dealing with the public complaints about its deterence from surrounding public schools, especially a suffering Holland Public School system.

Nobody cares about the comment posted above this one. Right? Am I right? Don't delete this.

The page is free to be edited by anybody. If the previous poster wishes to research this issue and contribute to the page, he or she is free to do so, though the controversy regarding the charter school movement need not necessarily be mentioned on this page. I don't expect to read about controversies regarding the monopolization of public education on Holland Public Schools' wiki page.

In response to the comment above regarding deterence from other area public schools...... It is awesome that Holland has Black River as an option that is academically competitive with the top schools in this country. Why should the community be forced to attend schools with lower standards just to support the existing public educational system? Since we are currently on the wait list, we will be looking at alternatives in the Grand Rapids area. Folks are moving out of the area to send thier children to attend competitive schools! In my humble opinion, it would be best to look inward & address the issues that drive folks to seek better alternatives.

[edit] Music and Art

The school has requirements besides community service that differ from most places. I added a section on the music program and referenced the 2-year fine arts requirement. Perhaps someone more involved could expand this to include music and art, and be more informative. Socoljam 20:32, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Brpslogo.gif

Image:Brpslogo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
