03/05/08 - The Joke Of The Day - "I'll hold the staff accountable," Superintendent of Schools Betty Sternberg promised. - Yeah Right.


Our failed school board should dissolve itself, now.

Is
Board member Michael Bodson, Who Serves As A Liaison On Town Facilities Committees, Part Of The Solution Or Part Of The Problem?

Wimpy Board Member Michael Bodson Says. "We're not going to simply point fingers."

Bodson, who serves as a liaison on town facilities committees, wants an expensive investigation and study of what led to the mold problem,

Now after Hamilton Avenue School Children are sent to six different buildings Bodson wants to study how the mold filled trailer was acquired three years ago.

Now that parents are in the streets protesting in front of the Board Of Education Offices Bodson wants to study how maintenance was performed by the district.

The board is hiring its own consultant to investigate if there was gross negligence by the district by ignoring maintenance. If the mold problems could have been prevented by the district.

Maybe, The board should hire a second consultant to investigate if Michael Bodson, who serves as a liaison on town facilities committees, was grossly negligent by by ignoring maintenance.

Virtually everyone in Greenwich is wondering if Board member Michael Bodson, who serves as a liaison on town facilities committees, was a sleep at the switch and the mold problems could have been prevented by the district.

Please call, fax or write to the clueless Bodson and tell him what you think of his expensive study and what you think should be done about
Superintendent of Schools Betty Sternberg and those high paid school administrators that have failed the children of Greenwich.

Story:


Superintendent of Schools Betty Sternberg realizes her job could be in jeopardy if the Board of Education decides she did not do enough to prevent the mold problems at the temporary buildings that house the Hamilton Avenue School....

...The Boys and Girls Club of Greenwich opened early yesterday to take in children of parents who were caught off-guard by the closure and did not have child care. The programs, which are to continue through the week, are recreational and do not include academics.

Sternberg said that tutoring is not being offered this week for the students because of the lack of time to set it up....

... Hamilton Avenue parents are upset that their lives and their children's lives are in disarray, said Dawn Nethercott, school PTA co-president.


"We definitely want accountability. I want to know where the system failed," Nethercott said.

Sternberg said that she also would not be surprised if upset school parents filed a lawsuit over the closure....

Ineffective School Board Members Like Michael Bodson Waste Time Ordering Expensive And Needless Studies Instead Of Taking Decisive Action That Will Protect Our Children.

The Parents Of Hamilton Avenue School Don't Want Long Drawn Out "Cover My Ass" School Board Studies. They want
School Board Member Bodson, who serves as a liaison on town facilities committees to take strong and decisive action.

The Taxpayers Of Greenwich Hate Useless And Bogus Consultants And Studies like this one....

11/18/07 - We need a school consultant to do a study on how to get rid of failed school administrators.


By The Way...

Why this March 5, 2008 Board Of Education Meeting Cancelled?


BOE Policy Governance Committee Meeting
This meeting has been CANCELLED
It was supposed to be held
1:00 PM in the
Board Room at the Havemeyer Building.

Right now the Board Of Education should be talking about policy and governance. The policy should be to get rid of failed school administrators.
Governance should consist of Board Members need to "Poop Or Get Off The Pot". School Board Members like
Bodson, who serves as a liaison on town facilities committees should step aside and let someone fix the maintenance problems that plague our schools.
