Christmas can be a lovely time of year. I don’t look forward to it as much as I used to when I was young. I’ve become somewhat jaded I think. Maybe because Christmas has become so commercialized. Maybe because it’s been politicized. Or maybe, I’ve just become an old fart. Whatever!
Anyway, I intend, at least to the extent that I can in these trying times, to be of good cheer and to refrain from blogging until the beginning of the new year.
In 2011, BoE will begin a series of posts combining:
- Teacher & Administrative Payroll
- Additional FOIA Advice
- School Board Governance
- Finance and Budgets.
Should be fun.
In the mean time two things. First, if you are an school administrator, a teacher or a parent and you think things in EMSD#63 or your district are not quite right, you are not alone.
Did you know that EMSD#63 schools failed to make AYP this year – again
EMSD#63 - AYP Reports - 2009 & 2010
and we’re told the District is going broke too – again!
Join me. The American educational system is financially and academically out of control and our school district is part of the problem. We need to fix it!
Lastly, here’s wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
