The Saga to Attain the Proficiency Analysis Report that “Doesn’t Exist”
The Administration’s Madness Continues There was a reasonable request from a BOE member at the May 11th BOE meeting for the Superintendent to do her job and present to the BOE possible reasons for the decline in rankings and proficiencies as well as a plan to address the declines. The timeline below details the saga that ensued. May 11th: At...

Laura’s Notes on the 06/29/2023 BOE Agenda
What is Important For Families to Know about Tonight’s BOE Meeting… Report of the Superintendent I believe this is intentionally blank so we can, once again, be party to the theatre that will undoubtedly occur at tonight’s meeting. I don’t gamble, but I’d be willing to bet Dr. Varley will use this opportunity to make a statement attributing all of...
