Superintendent Search

Do we want a vision that has been created for a district that is not Norwalk? Are we willing to accept a retiree from another state again? Do we want a rookie again? What do we want in our new superintendent other than a great interview? Think about it. We've been accepting a lot of promises and 'words' that don't fit the state's requirements or Norwalk's. We need to realistically face where we are and who can move us forward.

Happy New Year! Back to You...

Push for Parental Screening First?

There is an obvious agenda afoot with the screening process for the candidates for the superintendent's position, so I've heard. Certain parents want to be the first line of screeners for the position. Most of the RedApples want to be in that group. What's the agenda? Guess who will be eliminated first, if he is persuaded to apply for the position? I'll give you one guess, because that's all you need. On the other hand, there is a suggestion to keep the Interim one more year so that the new Board of Education (with four positions available) will be able to choose their own superintendent. Two related, but very different topics up for discussion. What do you think?

An open forum, in the event people want to talk about the tragic shootings today. Just a cathartic place to write about your feelings.......

Longer School Day?

What do you think about a longer school day? What would you like to see added to the end of the day? Do you think test scores would increase as a result of additional hours? How would this affect children? Should only the schools that are failing have longer days? What else?
