  Petersburg School Superintendent Ray V. Spain said district officials are doing their best to correct problems at the nine city schools on the warning list for a second consecutive year.He said he was not upset by Christie's remarks, although he was not entirely in agreement.
  
  "I wouldn't say we have a large group of teachers who are resisting teaching the standards," Spain said.
  
  Public school officials in Richmond, where 26 schools failed to meet standards two years in a row, did not immediately return a phone call Friday.
  
  ...
  Spain said Petersburg is getting adequate technical assistance from the state, but not enough money.
  
  "While we know we have to make changes, this year our budget has been cut over $1.2 million from the state," he said."We're simply not going to have the resources we need to make some of these changes."

  We're very fortunate to be getting him , said Ray V. Spain , superintendent of the Petersburg school system.He comes with a lot of experiences , a lot of skills , and he's going to be a real asset for us..
  
  Spain hopes Congleton will be able to tackle and overcome their biggest problems.The most immediate thing is putting together a teaching recruiting outfit... organize a mentoring program for our teachers and to generally help with some of the public relations..
  
  Spain and two of Congleton's future assistants were in attendance on Sunday.
  
  After an hour of being lauded with praises and gifts , Congleton took the podium.For those of you that have stood tall along my side during those times of challenge and controversy , I say to you with great sincerity and humility , Thank you.' For nothing that was done in Weldon City Schools was done single-handedly.It was with the cooperation , collaboration , dedication , and sincerity of many great and wonderful people..
  
  After giving praise to his colleagues , the superintendent strongly chastised those who have opposed him and his administration.Your willingness to sacrifice the lives of innocent children in order to quench your thirst for blood , vengeance and destruction , only served as a decloaking device that revealed who you really are and who you really stand for ( roar of applause from audience ) ..
