Without her staff to field uncomfortable questions Ann was left to fend for herself. Ann is a quick study. She won't come to another open public event like this without her flunkies.

The Ballad of Durham Public Schools
(To the tune of “Yankee Doodle”)
By The Bull City Bard

DPS went round and round
Exposed by what was phony;
They argued long into the night
With faces oh so stoney

DPS, oh what to do
DPS, vote fairly
Mind the children and the rules
And treat the public squarely

Gail and Heidi brought if forth
A document deceptive;
They rushed it to a final vote
Regina disrespected

DPS, oh what to do
DPS, vote fairly
Mind the children and the rules
And treat the public squarely


Jackie tried to keep it real
To get the vote rescinded;
The Steves – they tried to crack the whip
Their actions they defended

DPS, oh what to do
DPS, vote fairly
Mind the children and the rules
And treat the public squarely

Minnie wavered back and forth
Unsure of her position;
She peddled backwards all the while
Oh what a contradiction!

DPS, oh what to do
DPS, vote fairly
Mind the children and the rules
And treat the public squarely


Ann, she sat without a word
So smug and in no hurry;
She dumped her problems on the board
Of course she has no worry

DPS, oh what to do
DPS, vote fairly
Mind the children and the rules
And treat the public squarely


DPS, you’re quite a group
Divided and conflicted;
Preserve the 4-3 at all costs
Durham’s growth restricted

DPS, oh what to do
DPS, vote fairly
Mind the children and the rules
And treat the public squarely
