Lincoln Millstein Is Once Again Right About The Greenwich BOE
He Is On Top Of The Greenwich School's Like White On Rice
Time to change the way Greenwich school board is selected...
By Lincoln Millstein
Dave sounds like a guy I wouldn't mind sidling up to at a Greenwich cocktail party and pick his copious brain about a variety of topics. What is unclear to me is whether Dave knows anything about secondary education in the United States ... ....Ditto for John Raben Jr., another nice guy as far as I can tell from his profile on the Republican Town Committee web site. His J.P. Morgan resume may cause some to pause.... ....Stepford Wives? Welcome to the Stepford School Board.
And because the school board is assured there is no one on it that represents the constituency most in need of representation in Greenwich - the fast growing Hispanic students - we have the perfect storm that has led to Greenwich being compared to the public school systems in Bridgeport and New Haven.
The Greenwich Time had a terrific editorial on the issue today, calling the current system unacceptable, especially in light of the declining reputation of the Greenwich schools under the current school board......
.... Let’s just have the first selectman appoint the superintendent and do away with the school board.
Let’s not have an un-democratic process and pretend we’re a democracy. The powers that be in Iran are learning the hard way that that doesn’t work......
