STORY:

Students' relocation prompts complaints

By Andrew Shaw
Greenwich Time - Staff Writer

Frustrated and despondent parents pleaded with the Board of Education at a public hearing last night to improve the plan used to distribute Hamilton Avenue School students to other schools after their building was closed, and to prevent Glenville School from going through the same thing....

... Hamilton Avenue parents said their children are exhausted from the long bus rides to their new schools, or are having to board buses at dangerous intersections...

... Once Hamilton Avenue moves back into its renovated school, Glenville School is supposed to move into the temporary modular building. Because of the mold, though, Glenville parents said they are concerned about using the building again, even if it is cleaned out. But they also don't want their children split up into different schools. Some asked the board to use other town buildings, such as the Bendheim Western Greenwich Civic Center.

"We're asking you to keep the children of Glenville School together," said Alicia Budkins, Glenville School PTA co-president...

A Very Brave Fourth-Grade Glenville School Student Jackie Steinman Got Up And Made A Fine Appearance As She Spoke Out Against Greenwich School Officials.

"I think we should have a voice in this decision," proclaimed the admirable Jackie Steinman.

They should put this brave little fourth grade girl on the Board Of Education's New Advisory Committee On Facilities.

Courageous Jackie Steinman doesn't want her and her school mates to be put in contaminated modular classrooms, nor does she want her school split up all over town.

Fearless Jackie Steinman probably doesn't want to see Glenville School children suffer from headaches, prolonged sinus infections in the contaminated temporary modular classrooms.

Surely, the daring Jackie Stienman doesn't want to see her Glenville School teachers complaining of about headaches, nausea, and respiratory problems.

If Gutsy Jackie Steinman was on the Board Of Education's New Advisory Committee On Facilities, she just might be fearless enough to ask school officials...

03/13/08 - Just How Much Are The Taxpayers Of Greenwich Paying Superintendent Betty Sternberg And Her Failed Administrators To Lie To The Public?

And about ...

03/09/08 - Town Employees: Sternberg's Crew Knew - Mold Covered Tiles Replaced Over One Year Ago.

HERE IS A SINGLE FAMILY HOME OWNER'S AND TAX PAYER FUN FACT OF THE DAY:

School officials also reported that the district has spent $275,000 moving Hamilton Avenue School students to their new schools and conducting air quality studies on the 3 million dollar modular clasroom buildings. And this is just the beginning of how much Single Family Home Owners Taxpayer's will have to pay for the Incompetent Sternberg School Administration.

Can The Single Family Home Owner's And Taxpayers Afford School Superintendent Betty Sternberg?
