Have you ever seen a Star Trek episode in which Captain Kirk pushes a button, and some science fiction machine creates whatever Kirk ordered?

Well, science fiction has become science fact in teacher Richard Lawrence's drafting classroom.

The James Logan Drafting program recently purchased a 3D printer. Now some of you might be asking yourselves, “A printer that prints 3D pics, big deal”.

But it doesn't print pictures; it prints 3D objects.

Less than a month after being notified it would be in “program improvement” under a narrow definition of federal law that Interim Superintendent David Pava called “absurd,” the New Haven Unified School District has learned it was labeled in error.

“I’m pleased to announce that we are not a program improvement district, but frankly, it bothers me to have to do so,” Mr. Pava said. “We shouldn’t have to ‘clear our name,’ so to speak, not in a district where teachers, classified employees and administrators work so hard every day to care for our students and their families.

“The New Haven community knows this is a quality school district.”


From wikipedia:
José María Teclo Morelos y Pavón (September 30, 1765, Valladolid, now Morelia, Michoacán – December 22, 1815, San Cristóbal Ecatepec, State of México) was a Mexican Roman Catholic priest and revolutionary rebel leader who led the Mexican War of Independence movement, assuming its leadership after the execution of Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla in 1811. He was later captured by the Spanish colonial authorities and executed for treason in 1815.
