After the fire this month at Fernway Elementary School in Shaker Heights, district officials have a lot to sort out. Will the building, a hub of the community, be restored? Where will the 300-plus students report for school and will they be together? I'm Mike McIntyre. Thoughts from school officials join Monday morning at 9 on the Sound of Ideas. And we'll revist the book, "Ballots and Bullets" with author James Robenalt on the 50 year anniversary of the Glenville Shootout.
