07/10/08 Parents are sending e-mails and letters. They are organizing and trying to get community leaders to stop the failed Board Of Educations latest plan.

07/09/08 Reader Submitted Comments About Glenville School.

Once again Greenwich Roundup has brought the single family home-owners breaking news about the failed Board Of Education and Greenwich Time Reporter Hoa Nguyen has to play catch up.

If the Greenwich Board Of Education sends a press release to Hoa Nguyan, then the lazy Greenwich Time reporter runs the press release through the spell checker and publishes the item the same day.

But if concerned parents send Hoa Nguyen emails, letters, pictures about the failed Greenwich Board Of Education, the Greenwich Time reporter repeatedly ignores the plight of innocent school children day after day after day.

Glenville parents don't want fate linked to Ham Ave.

By Hoa Nguyen
Greenwich Time Education / Staff Writer

....Through e-mails and letters sent this week, parents and community leaders are lobbying the Board of Education to focus its energy finishing the Hamilton Avenue School building and starting the Glenville School reconstruction project, rather than holding up one for the other.....

...But parents and community leaders say conditions at Glenville School are unfit for students or staff, citing the building's history of leaks and maintenance problems....

....Those rumors set off a firestorm of opposition from Hamilton Avenue School parents who said they would rather delay the start of the school year rather than have to send their children to Glenville School....

... officials decided it would remediate the modular and temporarily move in the Glenville students and staff while their school undergoes reconstruction.

Under one scenario, if the new Hamilton Avenue School is not ready, the students and staff there could temporarily move into Glenville School - an option that doesn't sit well with parents....

Alicia Budkins, co-president of Glenville School's parent-teacher association, said parents were tired of discussing what-if scenarios....

Parents from Glenville and Hamilton Avenue School have to start reading between the lines.

The Greenwich Board of Education and their operatives are experts at getting parents to attack each other. The BOE is afraid that the parents of Western Greenwich school children wil unite and go after failed school board members and incompetent school administrators.

Alicia Budkins, co-president of Glenville School's parent-teacher association, is just doing the Board of Education's bidding when she says that Western Greenwich Parents were tired of discussing what-if scenarios.

Hey Alice, maybe we should start focusing more on what-if scenarios.

  • What if Glenville Students and Hamilton Avenue Students recieved the same resources that other Greenwich School children receive?
  • What if we got rid of some of Alicia Budkins pals on the Greenwich Board Of Education?
  • What if we fired some of some of the incompetent school administrators that Alicia Budkins supports?
PTA leaders are either going to be part of the solution of getting Western Greenwich School children equal access to Greenwich educational resources or they are going to be identified as part of the problem.

Innocent Western Greenwich School Children Have Been Denied For Far Too Long. It Is Time For Everyone In Greenwich To Standup For These Traditional Disadvantaged Members Of Greenwich Society.

"To keep saying what if, what if, what if - how about finish it, finish it, finish it," she said. "Instead of talking in circles, get it done."
