blue ribbon schools - July 30, 2008

its great there's blue ribbon schools in Severna Park, but when you ask about other parts of the county - like south county - and why there's no blue ribbon schools, administrators like Assistant Superintendent Lynn Whittington and regional director Lorna Leone insist that the Blue Ribbon designation is not important.
