Western Greenwich residents and their children are tired of being treated like the trailer park trash of the town,
Yes it is true that Western Greenwich has low income housing and large minority based schools,
Yes it is true that hard working families from every walk of life that want only the best for thier children live in Western Greenwich.
Every child in this town wants and deserves the best education possible regardless of their social status.
Why doesn't the PTA take on the BOE?
Where have the elected Glenville And Hamilton Avenue PTA leaders been?
Why haven't they spoken out against the BOE.
Maybe they don't know what to say or how to say it, and maybe they don't want confrontation. Who knows?
Its time for a change.
We the richest town in Connecticut and we are failing our children.
We must not allow the BOE to continue disregarding the needs of Western Greenwich children.
Perhaps, it is time that the Town itself reconsiders the need for the BOE.
First selecman Peter J. Tesei would do a far better job of managing the school superintendent and the school administrators.
Why are we paying twice for the same product??
As a tax payer I would like to know!!.
Get rid of the BOE and let the Town Hall handle the superintendent and the school administrators.
We could save millions of dollars on salaries that could be put towards the education of our children.
Volunteer clerk of the works is the wrong way to go, Its all political
Public works jobs get done on time, maybe public works should be in charge of all public projects, with no B.O.E we could higher a few construction engineers to help over see the projects and base the salaries on how well they do the job.
We need to abolish the Board of Education and put it under Town Rule and we need to stop counting on volunteers to oversee the construction of buildings they have no idea how to build.
Western Greenwich parents and their children deserve to know what is happening.
Western Greenwich is tired of surprises, specifically the kinds handed out by the BOE.
The only way these changes will happen is if people step up, speak up and never give up.

In addressing the whereabouts of the Glenville "elected" PTA leaders, I am pleased to notify all concerned parties that with little effort I was able to locate them. One of the PTA presidents was quoted in Saturday's Greenwich Time article, clearly calling for the Ham Ave project to be FINISHED!
The others, busy attending weekly Building Commitee and Modular Commitee meetings.
While the rest of us have been enjoying our summer vacation, the PTA board has been meeting with town officials to safeguard us from further delays. The behind the scenes altruistic work of these weariless volunteers in nothing less then astounding!
Please do not confuse a group that does not seek recognition for it's countless hours of hard work....for a group sitting idle!
The only public forum available for the PTA to speak out "against the BOE" would be at the upcoming scheduled BOE meetings (7/22 &7/29).
In the future we could avoid speculation by communicating (email and/or phone)with our PTA, to not only find out what they are planning but perhaps productively contribute to the welfare of ALL our children. Instead of forcing the PTA to be magnanimous towards the very people they are fighting for! "NO MORE backseat drivers"!
Anticipating seeing you all at the BOE meeting!
