The Board of Education will be meeting tonight, Thursday, at 7:15 p.m. in the Concert Hall at City Hall. On the agenda is the "Discussion and Possible Action to Reinstate Positions to the 2011-12 Operating Budget and additional reconciliation options."
I expect there to be discussion about the high school housemaster. Maybe the West Rocks assistant principal. I wonder what the "additional reconciliation options" means.
Also on the agenda--"authorize superintendent to hire instructional staff over the summer" and discussion about renaming the Center for Global Studies.

Hire instructional staff over the summer? I thought there wasn't any money.
ReplyDeleteRenaming the Center for Global Studies? Why?
How is it that the BoE always finds money at the 11th hour?
I believe CGS is being renamed in memory of Dr. Jassey.
ReplyDeleteThis is where Dr. Marks makes a plea for HER pet positions. Can't wait to see if she is thinking of the classrooms first or central office.
ReplyDeleteIt would be fantastic to honor the memory of a great man by naming the center after Dr. Jassey. I totally approve, and I think he would be touched by such a great honor.
ReplyDeleteCan anyone provide update on the results of this meeting?
ReplyDeleteCan we talk about students, classrooms and real teaching?

DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT HISTORY
The popular historian David McCullough says textbooks have become 'so politically correct as to be comic.' Meanwhile, the likes of Thomas Edison get little attention.
9:17,
ReplyDelete(1)We are on topic. You are not.
(2)Curriculum is not dictated by parents
(3)Talk about classrooms? What does that mean?
(4)Real teaching? Just what do you think Norwalk teachers do?
I am holding back from commenting more as it would be rude.
5:39 You can say all you want. You are simply showing your hostility.
ReplyDeleteI have no hostility. I am just driving the point as a tax paying parent that the curriculum needs an overhaul. And you are very naive to think that parents have no say. Very naive.
Carry on.
