Spelling Bee with Costumes

What do you think of the initiative by the Norwalk Education Foundation's effort to raise money by holding a spelling bee with costumes?

A Few Items of Interest

A few items of interest about which you can ponder.......... (1) Where is the Board of Education getting the money to raise the new superintendent's salary range (up to) $250,000 when it was budgeted at $230,000? Will the additional money be taken from the classroom budgets? (2)At Tuesday night's Board of Education's meeting, there was an additional expenditure for legal fees of $45,000. It appears that Haynie dragged out negotiations. Why didn't she alert the Board about what she was doing? Why are the Apples not upset about this? (3) Why is Mike Lyons defending Haynie? Are the two Mikes and Sue a team now? Inquiring minds want to know.

In All Fairness.....

In all fairness, Interim Daddona deserves all the credit for going after the IT Director. The alleged misconduct was started under Marks' reign. Daddona wanted accountability and went after him. At that point, the Director was put on leave with pay, as required, until the lawyers decided how to proceed. Remember, innocent until proven guilty? That's why there is a leave with pay. Once this is a legal issue, the lawyers dictate what is done. There are people accusing Daddona of the outcome. He has NO choice on what is done with the Director or what is required of him. Be fair! Daddona is giving you accountability and he is criticized for doing it? Doesn't make sense.

Executive Session, miscellaneous

(1) I heard Sue Haynie left the Board of Ed meeting and did not attend the executive session. (2)RedApples are populating the parent sessions to make their agenda heard. (3) NORWALKACT has a private session with the search firm???

Not a Fair Chance

It was heard at a PTO Council meeting that Mike B., Board member, stated if Tony Daddona applies for the superindendent's position, Daddona would not get his (Mike's) vote. Law suit? Hostile environment? Not a fair chance? What is your opinion? At the very least, it's an irresponsible comment, in my opinion.
