Today's Top Story Headline:
Quote:
"He made false statements and knowingly misrepresented facts multiple times to multiple people during a nine-day period," Superintendent of Schools Betty Sternberg said at yesterday's press conference. "This, my friends, is not about cupcakes. This is not about cupcakes."
Story:
...Sternberg said yesterday that D'Amico, who agreed to the penalty, will have his pay withheld for the month's suspension. During his probation, he will meet twice a month with Deputy Superintendent Kathy Greider to review his performance....
...Later D'Amico told his supervisors that the practice was a long-standing one that could be found in the handbook, though he neglected to say he added the section only after the run-in with the parent, according to the district. He also later failed to correct officials, including Sternberg, when they talked to him and appeared under the impression that the section had been in the handbook the entire time, according to the district's account. D'Amico, on another occasion, was untruthful to officials about when he added the section, the district said....
....D'Amico has been principal since 2005 and made a salary of $132,000 last year.

There Are So Many Unanswered Questions
In The Greenwich Time Story
A day after the news of Principal Marc D'Amico's continued suspension and punishment broke the Greenwich Time reporting is horribly incomplete. So many issues are left uncovered and so many questions are left unanswered. For example....
Will the Glenville School community respect this man now that he has been branded "LIAR" in public?
Will every decision he makes will be second guessed and scrutinized?
Will Principal D'Amico be able to improve the low test scores at Glenville school?
How do the people who signed a petition supporting a now admitted liar feel?
Do the teachers' have a union? If so, what is their position in all this?
Could the Glenville PTA leadership have helped in not letting this get out of hand? ...they knew what was going on way before the community as a whole...they were very involved in dividing the Glenville community by strongly support of an admitted liar.
Is it the Parent Teachers Association or the Principal Teachers Association?
Did Principal D'Amico ever have a similar situation like this when he was in Wallingford?
Will Principal D'Amico apologize to the Carbino family?
Don't think for a second that the students don't know about all this friction in the community.
What did they think or learn from this situation? What did they think of their parents arguing in public with each other over an admitted liar?
Will Glenville parents be able to fully trust their principal as they move into the contaminated modular classrooms?
The Greenwich Time article fails to get at the heart of a story that has so may interesting angles?

Third time not the charm for GHS boys lacrosse team
NORWALK - For the Greenwich High School boys lacrosse team, the third time was not the charm. Once again the Cardinals could not solve Ridgefield High School, losing in the Division L semifinals to their FCIAC nemesis 7-5 at Brien McMahon High School.
Gorgeous gardens
Benefits go over the hedge for a peek at summer plantings
Time to follow the flowers! Among the joys of June are the garden tours with their invitation to peek behind our neighbors' houses and hedges.
The signals are a little mixed. We need to stay off the roads, as most people would agree, what with $50-plus fill-ups looking like the norm for at least a while.
