City: Illegally-Parked
Bikes Will Be Ticketed
As Key West City maintenance crews work their way
across the island repairing light posts, they’ve been hindered by
bicycles illegally chained to the posts. According to the City’s
Code of Ordinances, it is illegal to attach a bike to anything not
a specifically designated parking spot. They are encouraging
bicycle owners to use designated bike racks to store their bikes
when not in use. Public safety is one of the driving factors behind
this ordinance. Bikes chained haphazardly along sidewalks or
to trees and light posts can impede foot traffic and may cause
injuries. The problem has been especially pronounced along
Duval Street where heavy foot traffic and fallen bikes could
result in an accident.
City Code Enforcement inspectors will be enforcing the
city’s ordinance, warning people against attaching their bikes
to random trees or light posts. Continued violation can result
in fines ranging from $20 to $50.

they are the winner of the grand prize of $4500 or of some of the
many other great prizes. Only 200 tickets are sold. Call Roberta at
292-7963 to purchase a ticket or just stop by the BottleCap Happy
Hour this Friday to support Zonta and enjoy the festivities.

Author’s Book Fair
Friday and Saturday

and readings throughout the day. The event is free to the public
and offers an opportunity to meet the authors. The book fair is
presented in cooperation with Heritage House and the Robert

Former Valedictorian
Asks for Help from
the Community to
Save Tradition
In the fall of 2008, the School Board approved revisions to
the Pupil Progression Plan via a consent agenda which included
the elimination of the designations of Valedictorian and Salu-
tatorian after the graduation of the class of 2012. At the time,
the reasons given for eliminating the designations were that
competition was becoming fierce, some students were gaming
the system and taking classes that helped to inflate their Grade
Point Average (GPA), and that the tradition of picking only the
top two students of the class was not inclusive enough given
that mere fractions of a percentage point often separated the
high achieving students.
I am a self-proclaimed “nerd” and one of the great mo-
ments in my life thus far was being named the co-Valedictorian
for the Key West High School class of 1999. Achievement in the
classroom was one of my only outlets growing up and being
named Valedictorian was my ultimate goal.
There are many students like me. How very sad they will
be prevented from having a similar shining moment if this tradi-
tion is not reinstated.
I also fear this decision sets a terrible double standard in
that success on the playing field continues to be rewarded, while
the “nerds” are being stripped of their equivalent of the baseball
championship and/or homecoming crown. Safe to assume those
will continue to be awarded? Those activities are often decided
by fractions of a point, but we seem to be fine with awarding the
top performers in those fields.
I agree the system for calculating the top students in the
class needs to be reevaluated and revised, but I don’t think this
should be at the detriment of a hallowed tradition— the prob-
lem should be fixed rather than eliminating the designations
altogether! With the push for student success in the classroom it
seems as if the Valedictorian and Salutatorian traditions should
be touted for helping to inspire success rather than retired from
service for not being “inclusive” enough.
I can not think of a more worthy competition than one in
which academics are at its core. As a nation, we have grown ac-
customed to rewarding participation as a means to applaud ef-
fort— while often times failing to recognize the best among us.
While I still have much to learn, I do believe I have lived
enough to know life is not always fair and that there will always
be winners and losers. Granted, when you start figuring out grade
point averages above a 4.0, separated by a couple hundredths
of a grade point, there are no real losers— other than a tradition
which rewards achievement and inspires excellence.
Given all of the recent press the School District has received,
how nice would it be if they reversed this action and let it be
known that, despite the fact they are still working to set the ship
straight, they have also not lost sight of their ultimate goal of
See TRADITION, next page

FROM previous page
student success and achievement? By reversing the action they
would ensure the best-of-the-best continue to be acknowledged
and rewarded as the gold standard for their class and continue
a very worthy tradition.
Schools Superintendent Dr. Joseph Burke was nice enough
to meet with me on this issue and allowed me to explain my
position. He was hoping to get input from the Board before he
moved forward and I in turn reached out to all of the School
Board members. One Board member responded in part: “I am
always happy to discuss the topic again, but I have not been
contacted by anyone other than you to change it back. It’s my
impression from informal discussions that most folks are in
favor of keeping things as they are . . . (I) suggest that in the
interim you urge folks supporting a revision to the status quo
to contact board members directly. I haven’t heard any of them
call for a return to the former plan.”
It saddened me to think a chorus of one is not enough to
get the School Board to re-address this issue and that the sta-
tus quo may be maintained. However, I have since launched
a letter writing campaign and the School Board members are
receiving letters from a great cross section of the Florida Keys
community who are outraged this change took place, that it
essentially happened without much fanfare, and urging them
to reverse this action.
If you would like to share your position with the School
Board and Superintendent please e-mail them directly to the
e-mails listed below!

Joseph.Burke@keysschools.com
The Pupil Progression Plan is up for revision in May and
we have the opportunity to reinstate the Valedictorian and
Salutatorian tradition at that time. I thank you in advance and
hope you can help me grow the strength of my chorus of one
and help save this worthy tradition.
