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.

As I have learned in the past "trust but verify" please call a BOE member and ask them ifRead More they have seen the new report card, when they saw the new report card, if the board voted on the report card. I know from reading the minutes there is very limited talk about any report cards. There has been talk about the new core curriculum. I also know minutes can be deceiving from boards and commissions but I would have thought that something this big and much of a change would have something like board agrees that new report cards look good or bad or something to any effect. The only thing that I saw was on 1/8/13 when mention was made about the parent meeting and one board member asking if SBRC was used in the HS. I should note clearly - I am not out to crucify our BOE. I know they are governed by state statue and then add on their additional policies. I am very disappointed in the fact they were not involved ( from my understanding) in the implementation, development or tracking of the new report card. The waters on this whole thing get muddier and muddier. Again, don't take my word on this, read the minutes or call a board member. I do not go to all the board meetings, I can only say what I have been told and what I read in the minutes. Again, I am not out to hang the board members, I just want parents to understand if they have been led to believe this SBRC was a mandate from the state and our BOE embraced this - they may want to find out all the details.

Resident- Let me get this straight you believe that - BOE did not approve this..... no one saw theRead More report card before it went out ? and I am not sure who has since ? Sad! Well it clearly demonstrates the lack of competence and how well the BOE is informed the in the area of our children's education.

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.
