40,000 Registered Voter, approximately 6,000 active voters but only 75 residents will be allowed to speak at the next School Board Meeting… Kindly refer to my prior post. Roy Lester is a strong 1st Amendment advocate, and I can tell you I believe Roy was instrumental in changing the Rules to Version 2.0, however I think we can do better. Please contact the members of the Board of Education and respectfully request that all community members interested in sharing their opinions be "permitted" to speak. The Board of Education can still fix this problem prior to the meeting. I checked today, School Construction remains ongoing, recovery from Sandy remains ongoing, Union Contract remain unsettled (and moral remains low), the Governor has announced major changes to Pre-K, the Senate has told the NYS Department of Education to fix Core, and it was recently announced that NYS will stop standardized testing prior to a certain grade level. Lots of changes and work remain to restore our school infrastructure. The children of our community are still recovering with the families from the devastating psychological and social issues caused by Sandy and its effect on family. I respectfully urge the Board of Education to just STOP this plan. Now is not the right time!
