The State of Connecticut has billions in unfunded pension obligations thanks to the money managementRead More ablities of our state treasurers over the years. Only an AFSCME union boss would trust them.

Dear save our schools : I have not heard that rumor.... I think where that may have started wasRead More with some people looking at the old middle school and thinking about using it for a vo-ag school, but not at all connected with our school system. I have not heard anything for a while on that whole subject. I have not heard about accreditation issues either... I know about 12 years ago or maybe longer there were issues. My kids are not in the HS. Normally I support our BOE. And it should be noted that the BOE did not approve this... I would tend to bet that if you polled every board member - no one saw this report card system before it went out, and I am not sure who has seen it since. With kids in the middle school now I am keeping an ear open about the HS.

Dear EH Resident, Thank you for a well written and very informative communication. I am a parent ofRead More a recent Hale Ray graduate and have a student currently in the school system. My children are five years apart and it is down right scary to realize how much our school systems quality and rigor has been degraded in recent years. These changes are the direct result of the ill guided Board of Education. Recently I have heard that our high school will soon be becoming a vocational school and will not be accredited . This maybe a rumor but the current path we are on certainly supports the rumor. The loss of accreditation will mean that the diploma our children earn upon graduation will not be accepted by higher education institutions. The mantra of doing less with more is destroying our community. Our children are being robbed of a successful future because of their penny wise pound poor management. We must demand change and accountability from our Board of Education!

I am so hoping there is strength in numbers. We need as many parents as possible to sign theRead More petition against common core curriculum and specifically how it has affected the actual report card. As a group of concerned parents, we need to come up with a valid example of what we would like included in our children's report card. Presently, it is far too subjective and disorganized. There are approximately 67 categories on which to grade a student! Who decided to dissect a simple Language Arts score into over 30 different categories with grades? What tests are used to assess these 30+ ways to grade a child? Where are the tests? They don't come home and parents are in the dark until the actual parent/teacher conference! Additionally, if academic behaviors need to be included in reporting, they should be separate from the actual grades or the teacher can simply write comments next to each grade, constructive criticism that can enable a parent to help their child in whatever way they need help.This must be terribly time-consuming for teachers also whose time could be better-used in teaching our children without deciphering behaviors and analyzing standardized tests. I want to know WHY also!
