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.

A statement against Gates-Mckinsey consulting resolution and privatization from Mary Adams.

This essay highlights issues that we and candidates for the Board of Education should be aware of as they explain their qualifications for guiding the course our school district in the coming years:

The SWCC Education Committee is holding it's September meeting on Wednesday the 4th in PLEX at 6:30pm in Carlson Commons.  I hope all the teachers who attended the last meeting held at the Thurston Y will come and will have contacted parents of their students to encourage them to participate in this meeting at 70 Coretta Scott Crossing.  I hope we will have participation from parents, teachers and principal so we can work together to make the needed changes that will turn our schools around. 

I would hope we will see many participants from PLEX, COTS and SWAN come to this meeting to join in the conversation.  We need to work in all our neighborhoods to take back our schools and bring them back to being neighborhood schools where most students attending are from the school's feeder patterns where parents can more easily participate in their children's school.

Please spread the word and come to this meeting.

The ribbon cutting ceremony Enrico Fermi School No. 17 is this Thursday and it will be a great chance to see the renovated building!  Check out the PDF:  Ribbon_Cutting_Ceremony.pdf

This should serve as a model for us for School 16.

Wednesday, June 26, 2013 Rochester, NY - If under the current funding structure, the state cannot meet its constitutional obligation to ensure a sound basic education, then something has to give.
