People certainly are talking about Mike Lyons and all the comments and opinions he has been giving to the online blogs and the newspapers regarding how fabulous The new superintendent is. Word is that he is preparing the taxpayers for the $50,000 bonus he intends to give Rivera. If Rivera gets the Race to the Top grant, I think it might be worth the bonus, but other than that he has just been doing his job. If the new superintendent does get the $50,000 bonus, he will be paid even more than Westport's superintendent, right?
What can any of us do except wait? Let's hope that everyone on this BOE gives any decision about a bonus a lot of careful consideration. BTW, you know who won't be complaining about a bonus for the superintendent, don't you? Every union president in the NPS who knows that if the superintendent gets a bonus that's as much as a starting teacher's salary, it will be impossible to deny every group a raise next year.
Your frustrated... haha how about the teachers. Less than 90 spots to train teachers over the summer. Come on now Ralph and Manny... you could do better....
Musical chairs? Heidi Keyes and Mike Barbis moved over to the Republican side of the table at the Board meeting. The Chair decides where people sit, right? Did the Apples tell them what to do? Have Keyes and Barbis left their fellow Democrats behind?
Anon @ 10:59. Please go get your eyes checked! Mosby and Harris were seated one on each side of Chiramonte. Looks like they have decided to hang out in the Apple orchard or Chiramonte's wearing some magnificent cologne!
There is nothing in Roberts Rules of Order that gives the Chairman the power to seat people anywhere. The seventh grade lunchroom rears its ugly head on the Norwalk BOE.
Dangerous Anon @3:03??? You are just so mis informed, like most on this blog. New York City, the greatest city in the world is known as " The Big Apple". Those we love and endear most are known as "The Apple of my Eye" Nothing is more American than "Apple Pie" Health wise, everyone knows "an Apple a day keeps the doctor away" What's better than hot Apple pie and vanilla ice cream? Here's some more wonderful facts for all you sour & rotton Apples out there... APPLE'S Rock! Awesome Apples
Botanical name: Malus domestica
Delicious, crunchy, juicy, and sweet are all adjectives used to describe apples. They travel well, making them a popular lunchbox food and snack. Apples are extremely versatile. Although they are often thought of as distinctly American, they actually originated in Mesopotamia. Around 2,500 apple varieties are grown in the U.S., and 7,500 grown worldwide.
Health Benefits of Apples
Especially high in vitamin C, apples also provide vitamin A as a powerful antioxidant to help resist infection and scavenge free radicals that cause inflammation. They also contain a significant amount of fiber which can help prevent absorption of LDL (bad) cholesterol. Apples are a good source of B-complex vitamins such as riboflavin (vitamin B2), thiamin (vitamin B1), and pyridoxine (vitamin B6), which together release enzyme power to support metabolism and other vital functions inside the body.
Other minerals in apples include iron, copper, zinc, phosphorus, calcium, and potassium, which are important components in helping to control heart rate and blood pressure. All these good things and more explain why apples can legitimately be called a “super food"

At least one study shows that the flavonoids and nitrates in apples may protect against cardiovascular disease1 by lowering blood pressure, as well as improving endothelial function to regulate blood flow. Flavonoids are one of the most important naturally occurring phytochemicals in fruits, vegetables, and edible plants.
Research also indicates a connection between eating apples and a reduced risk of certain cancers, specifically colorectal cancer2, due to the high flavonoid content that releases antioxidant activity. Apples, it turns out, contain more antioxidants than any other food, with the peel being even more potent than the flesh. Interesting too, is the finding that no other fruit is associated with altering colorectal cancer risks: The higher the intake, the bigger the impact.
Your message is short and ridiculous and you are nothing but a sour apple. To bad, you're just going to have to live with it along with all the other union hacks on this joke of a website. As far as the next Luau goes, open wide and insert a nice juicy apple in your mouth. Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteVery good point. The unions will be delighted.
DeleteI disagree. I think the unions would be happier if that money was put towards support staff and other things the schools need.
ReplyDeleteCan anyone tell us if he has been out to the schools and how that is going?
ReplyDeleteThe parent portal isn't working! Doesn't anyone check this out before announcing it publicly? Frustration with this new computer director!
ReplyDeleteParent portal working. But can anyone explain why some teachers have no grades listed?

ReplyDeleteWait, I thought I saw Mosby and Harris on that side too?
DeleteHo! Ho! Ho! Very funny. NOT

Apples are dangerous! Just look at Snow White, Eve, Blackberry, or any pig at a Luau!

LIFE IS MUCH BETTER WITH APPLES IN IT EVERYDAY!
Be sure to tell the pig at the Luau about how great apples are for them! Get a life!
ReplyDeleteNorwalk's Red Apples are rotten to the core, in my humble opinion. At least my message is short and sweet.
