Should the BOF take over the BOE's finances?

...I'm not sure they can. According to this article in the Norwich Bulletin, BOEs in the state of Connecticut are autonomous. Nonetheless, it seems as though members of the BOF are still irritated that the BOE didn't report a lack of income for this year. The comments at the end are interesting, too.

What do you think? Our new Superintendent has her work cut out for her! Good luck.

Meeting June 9th

The BOE is meeting on THIS Wednesday night to discuss teacher non-renewals and budget reductions. There is a discussion about the LES Science teacher (and the entire program) versus a high school guidance position. If you want to show up and voice your opinion, please do.

Please remember to be polite. While you may not agree with a certain position the board has made, rudeness never gets anyone anywhere. I am afraid that tempers are high and people forget that the teacher (or guidance counselor) who is losing a job is a person with a family. Just try to be respectful of that. Thank you.
