By: |

“Fees for the firm representing Fred Camillo total $180,156.84. They have been paid in full by the Town of Greenwich. The Board of Education has been billed $165,985.50 for legal representation. None of their bills have been paid by the Town. The reason is not known…And from the billing records – there appears to have been a settlement discussion that went nowhere.  Who decided that?

By: |

“Dr. Mercanti-Anthony should pull up from 5000 feet and look at the big picture here. One can take a myopic view and nitpick who we’re actually cutting in terms of high school staff, but we are cutting. One can further nitpick that there is no line in the spreadsheet that says we are not paying educators because we are engaged in a lawsuit.  It does not need to be explicit.” – Brian Raabe Continue Reading →

The Emperor’s New School Budget

Another winner among students? The young person that arrived from athletic practice and took to the dais with no notes. (44:45 mark via the link above).

GHS Science Department: Large Science Classes are a Safety Issue

By: |

“The increased number of students has made each science discipline think about which labs we can safely have the students perform and eliminate certain labs due to the increased number of students in the class. Chemicals in chemistry labs and scalpels used for dissection in biology labs have to be taken into consideration when there are so many students to monitor. Students often ask, ‘Can I eat/drink this?”, ‘What would happen if I stuck myself with this?”, “Would this kill me if I got some on myself?”, “Would I go blind?'” – GHS Science Dept Continue Reading →
