Preschool and special education programs at Norwalk elementary schools will be shuffled around next year. On Thursday evening, schools Chief Operating Officer Craig Drezek presented the plan at the end of the meeting of the Board of Education's finance committee. The moves were prompted, in part, by the need to make more room availble in Naramake and Rowayton elementary schools without having to purchase portable classrooms. At the meeting, Superintendent Susan Marks said all the principals of the affected schools agreed to the plan.
Here are the changes as presented at the finance committee:
Rowayton
Two emotionally disturbed special education classes to relocate to Tracey
Two special education classes to remain at Rowayton
Tracey
Two emotionally disturbed special education classes from Rowayton (use pre-k room plus one other)
One pre-k to relocate to Silvermine
English Language Learners Welcome Center from Brookside to Lower Level of Tracey
Wolfpit
Two pre-k classes to condense to one and move to Silvermine
Silvermine
Two pre-k classes moving in: one from Tracey and one from Wolfpit
Brookside
ELL Welcome Center to Tracey
Naramake
Family Resource Center and preschool to Norwalk High child development center (Center's administration offices to remain at Naramake)

It is really to bad that teacher could not have been informed of these changes before reading them in the newspaper.
ReplyDeleteThat was up to your principal to tell you, I believe.
ReplyDeletesome teachers knew, principal told everyone this was a possibilty more than a week ago
ReplyDeleteaccording to the Dr. Marks and those that attended the last BOE meeting - Dr. Marks stated that she met with Principals on this matter.
ReplyDeleteShe did not let all principals know what she was planning.
ReplyDelete5:45, that doesn't sound reasonable. Are you sure you are getting the right story from your principal?
ReplyDelete5:45 am - I was at the board of ed meeting and there were some principals there and her team agreed to such conversation!
ReplyDeleteI'm convinced that the new super has a couple of lackies on here putting in a good word for her. They think that this will be their ticket to moving up the ranks. Bunch of tools.
ReplyDeletemeant to say fools not tools. not trying to be that off color. sorry.
