Was joined by SW3 and fellow LYNN SCHOOL COMMITTEE CANDIDATE MELISSA ROMANIELLO at a LYNN PARENTS ORGANIZING FOR A BETTER EDUCATIOM meeting tonight. A lot of issues were discussed but they all seem to comeback to what seems to be the common problem with LPS. It starts and ends with communication, either poor or lack of it.
For example, one BRICKETT parent complained about the fact that he only received a letter that served as notice for last night's much praised (by LPS) introductory meeting for the NEW KINDERGARTEN CENTER at 2 pm on the actual day of the meeting. Doesn't sound too user friendly to me. Also, despite claims to the contrary, DR. LATHAM'S initial meeting with the parents of KINDERGARTNERS was a little more contentious than we were led to believe from statements made before the LYNN SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
The role of the SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT COUNCILS was also discussed and unless I looked at the handout wrong only one school was in compliance with the law. I could have read it wrong. DARN CATARACTS, have you seen me type lately? Anyway LPS better watch out LIL'LORI is on point about this point.
It seems there is a movement afoot to demand more,
GREAT meeting last night, lots of input. Now to just get more parents involved and convince LPS that our School Councils are serious and we want to be heard and LISTENED to, as I have been saying repeatedly lately!
ReplyDeleteYes it was. It was not all about problems. It was about solutions as well.
