Objectives and Suggestions

Below is the Discussion Forum which will be used for posting information you think may start a back and forth discussion with other group members. The body of the Discussion which the author posts can be edited as often as necessary by the author to add information in the future. Replies posted by others can only be edited for a very brief period by the person posting. Please proofread it carefully before you post.

The Comment Wall below the Discussion Forum is best suited for posting information that you do not expect to initiate a discussion with and that you want completely visible to someone scrolling down this group page.

Note to the right of this box below the Members box is the Pages box. The first entry is a page with School Board & Superintendent Contact Info. That page is followed with a number of index pages to help you find what you are looking for.

Comment by John Boutet on September 5, 2013 at 7:35pm: On August 13, 2012, just over a year ago, we invited Ralph Spezio and Luis Aponte to come and talk to the SWCC Education Committee to plot a course for reviving School 16 which had been closed on Post Avenue and moved to Scio Street. A year later finds the 19th Ward Community Association's School's Committee reactivated to take on that challenge and Ralph Spezio back at the helm of School 17. The vote of confidence that the RCSD has placed in Ralph's vision for reviving our schools bodes well for our hopes for bringing back School 16 as a neighborhood school. Check the latest news on Ralph and School 17, For Rochester's School 17, a new space and a familiar face in Ralph..., and the notes from August 2012, Meeting minutes from School 16 Revitalization - A discussion with R.... The message has been constant.
