Struggling to find a story

and unable to write about anything substantive;
the Journal's "education reporter" Andra Schoellkopf,
reported this morning (sub req) that:

Next year's fall break would be moved from a Monday to a Friday under a plan being recommended by an Albuquerque Public Schools calendar committee.
In the same number of column inches, she could have informed the community of the possibility of an impartial audit that would eliminate corruption and incompetence from the leadership of the APS, and profoundly change APS' future.

She (Charlie Moore) chose instead, to break the story about a far distance, and basically "so what; who cares?" change in a school holiday.

Is that a Pulitzer I smell?
