When Dr. Arthur Cartlidge served as superintendent of Yazoo City Schools in the 90s they could compete academically with districts around the state.
That’s not the case anymore, but Cartlidge believes the district can be restored. Cartlidge, who is currently serving as interim superintendent, described the problems facing the district and his plan for fixing them to the Yazoo Rotary Club Wednesday.
“Where we are today will not be where we are tomorrow,” Cartlidge said. “This school system exists solely for the education of our children. Right now, we’re not doing that very well.”

Dear Editor:
In the 6 April 2013 edition of The Yazoo Herald you published a letter from Cynthia Fuller, "Thanks to (Van) Foster for helping get bridge replaced."
After reading this lettter, I had the impression that the bridge was completed and traffic was moving along normally.
Wrong! Last Sunday I was on my way to homecoming at Providence Baptist Church. I turned north onto old 49 and saw the signs that the bridge was out. I assumed that they hadn't gotten around to removing the signs. I expected to cross Thompson Creek on the new bridge. When I approached the creek the road was barricaded and construction equipment was down in the creek.
Perhaps The Herald can keep us updated as to the progress being made on the new bridge.
