The future of Tisbury’s historic public elementary school will be in the hands of town voters this weekend when they convene a special town meeting to take up a $55 million overhaul of the crumbling old brick school.
The Tisbury School has announced its honor roll for the first quarter of the 2009-2010 academic year.
Fifth grade high honors go to Patrick Best and Ethan Mendez.

A federal civil rights investigation of the Oak Bluffs and Tisbury
schools has cited both for failing to meet the instructional needs of
their growing population of Brazilian students.
The investigation was triggered by a parent complaint in November

interpreters and appropriate materials was shortchanging Brazilian
students.
Amy Sertl looks like a pro. She's only 10, but the strip of
measuring tape dangling from her shoulders is not just a silly prop.
Miss Sertl is part of the costuming team at the Vineyard Playhouse, and
she's got that tape now cinched around Sarah Felder's
cranium.
