Speak your mind.......

Everyone is Quitting

We have lost more administrators than in any time in Norwalk's history. What is going on?

PROACT CEO - RACIAL SLURS

We have read about the racial slurs that the CEO of PROACT has allegedly made. We have read that the Board of Education in Norwalk is not going to fire this company. We have read that at least three school districts have fired PROACT recently.

WHY AREN'T WE HEARING FROM THE COMMUNITY?
WHERE IS THE BLACK COMMUNITY IN ALL OF THIS?
WHY ARE NORWALK TAXPAYERS FUNDING A COMPANY WHOSE CEO IS A BIGOT?

The Truth

Mike Lyons
May 4, 2015 at 12:14 pmMarj, I confess — for the first two in over two years of back and forths here, you turned out to be right on something. I apologize for my error (I wasn’t lying, I just didn’t know the accurate contract amount). In the earlier posts you had referred continuously to grants, and that’s what I had focused on ($47,000 from GE supports this contract), not the contract. When I got the contract I saw that it was for over the $100,000, so your source in central office (for once) was right. Of course, my previous statement that this funding is not available for other uses remains correct

--------------------------------------This "apology"???? By Mike Lyons refers to a long debated issue on a Memorandum of Understanding. It was debated here and on Nancy on Norwalk.We thought our readers would be interested in some of the salient points.

Mark Chapman, on Nancy on Norwalk, published the link to the MOU.

Guess what? The consultant WAS paid over $100,000 for writing the standards just from December 2014-June 2015. She has a three year contract! Check out the link. It may surprise you to learn what exactly she was accountable for and how much she was paid. Check out that she was also paid from the budget surplus.
