01/26/10 You Wont Read This In The Greenwich Time; Key Figure In School Mold Fiasco was escorted from his job at the Greenwich BOE

Greenwich Time Is Too Affraid To Tell The Single Family Home Owners About The Fraud Waste And Abuse At The Greenwich Public Schools, But Greenwich Roundup Is Never Afraid To Tell Taxpayers The Truth.

Taxpayers And Parents Just Can't Trust Superintendent of Schools Sidney Freund And The Greenwich Board Of Education Members To Be Upfront And Honest

Freund Just Wants To Hide And Cover Things Up When Greenwich Residents Hard Earned Tax Dollars Are Wasted And Small Children Are Put In Danger.

Greenwich Time Cub Reporter Colin "BOE Brown Nose" Gustafson Is Aware That Town Hall And The Board Of Education Board Of Education Building Is A Buzz With The Rumor That......

Greenwich Public Schools Facility Director Tony Burns was escorted from his job at the Board Of Education last week by security because he is under investigation for receiving kickbacks on the modular project and the Hamilton Avenue School building project.

So far the official BOE spin for his firing is that he falsified time sheets.

That's Why Western Middle School Parents Are Crazy, If They Trust The BOE With The Situation At Western Middle School.

PLEASE SEE:

01/24/10 Can Parents Trust Stacy Gross And The Board Of Education To Tell Them The Truth About Mold And Asbestos At WMS ?

Who Knows Maybe Tony Byrne Was Taking Kick Backs From Charles Schwartz, who the Hamilton Avenue School parents proved was no longer licensed, nor is his company Environmental Assessments & Solutions, Inc. registered with any reputable Environmental Agency or Group.

Anything Is Possible At The Fraud Plauged Greenwich BOE.

Why Do BOE Administrators Keep On Insisting On Using Charles "I Didn't Need A Stinking License" Schwartz?

THE GREENWICH TIME REPRINTS BOE PRESS RELEASES
INSTEAD OF TELLING TAXPAYERS AND PARENTS

Colin "BOE Brown Nose" Gustafson Writes ....

Greenwich schools superintendent ties his success to teachers

By Colin "BOE BROWN NOSE" Gustafson

Superintendent of Schools Sidney Freund believes his success as the town's latest education leader depends heavily on the success of his teachers and how effectively his administration supports them.

That's why some of his first moves since taking over as the superintendent have included holding off on introducing new initiatives that might add to the burden on educators and expanding the use of so-called "data teams" to set priorities from the ground up, he said.....

The Public Schools Don't Need Any Freaking "DATA TEAMS". They Need Empowered Parental Investigative Teams Who Will Put And End To The Fraud Waste And Abuse That Is Bankrupting The Single Family Homeowners Of Greenwich.

Every BOE Cover Up Wastes Valuable Tax Dollars That Are Supposed To Go To Greenwich School Children.

Top Story #2: Can Parents Trust Stacy Gross And The Greenwich BOE To Tell The Truth About Mold And Asbestos At WMS
The Greenwich Time Editors do not have the journalistic balls to ask why the Greenwich Board Of Education and the school superintendent are still using Charles Schwartz, who the Hamilton Avenue School parents proved was no longer licensed, nor is his company Environmental Assessments & Solutions, Inc. registered with any reputable Environmental Agency or Group.
The Greenwich Time Editors do not have the journalistic balls to ask why a copy of the test results and the letter from the so-called environmental consultant Charles Schwartz is not posted on the Greenwich Public Schools website for all to see.
Why hasn't Steven B. Anderson, Board of Education Chairman or Dr. Sidney A. Freund, Superintendent of Schools issued a press release about the mold and the leaking steam pipe that some Western Middle School parents say is wraped in asbestos.
The Greenwich Board Of Education Has Downplayed And Lied To Parents About Mold In The Past.
