OLD SCHOOL RULES
Asbestos, asbestos we can't ignore
not when it's in the tiles under the floor.
Covering with new tiles in hopes to seal,
won't hide the fact the danger is real.
Saying the work's on the heaters may be a nice camouflage,
I only hope the threat of LAWSUITS is just a mirage.
Honestly I don't know what to do.
I'll say right now, I'm glad I'm not you.

MARCH SADNESS
The Lynn School Committee is sort of taking their own SPRING BREAK in addition to the regularly scheduled ones. Seems the regularly scheduled March 14 meeting was cancelled, wait make that postponed. Seems like there might be a brief one the following Thursday to handle some Procedural stuff. I guess I keep you posted when they post it.
Part of the brief meeting will be to cancel the next meeting on March 28 because someone said it falls on HOLY THURSDAY. I'll take their word for it I'm too lazy to check my calender. Normally they all could move the meetings around to an alternate Thursday but their schedules are a little cramped now because of some training they decided to squeeze in some stuff from the state.
Don't get me wrong, I glad they are taking the time to educate themselvrs about education, I just think it is a SHAME we have to put the whole process in nuetral to do it. These are trying FISCAL times. and we need steady hands on the wheel not just aimless drifting.

PLAIN DEVOTION TO SELF-PROMOTION
Gallo’s Proposal for Fundraising Position Could Give Lynn Schools a Major Boost
I am sorry this article reads a lot like remarks espoused by the ATTORNEY GALLO at the LSC meeting. That begs the question, "Does The Journal write his speeches OR does CHUCK pound the typewriter for the paper?"
It is a good idea to beg for money, it's kind of like begging for votes. No wonder CHUCK came UP with it.
SECOND HELPINGS OF SCOOP
Sarah Jackson Named Coordinator of Private Partnerships for Lynn Schools
You know sometime your scoop is so good, you just have to go back for another taste. That is the case here. The Journal did a yeoman's job of fleshing out what I already told you. My staff is just too lazy to dig for details.
Good Time Charlie's was all over the creation of this position. I think I have uncovered that this idea was not a cover of another's idea. Way to go CHUCK!
I do CONFESS though "The DEVIL is in the DETAILS"
ROTATORY PICK'S PUB TO PROMOTE UNDERAGE STUDENTS
Lynn Rotary Honors Students
Gotcha! Here I go again with the cheesy title but at least I got you to look at what this fine civic organization is doing to single out these student stars!
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
With FORD SCHOOL scheduled to be shut down for the summer who will step up to the plate? ABOUT 500 OF THEM.
Will there be a free-for-all finding a place for that federal food that is FREE FOR ALL kids under 18 for the summer? This program cost LPS nothing and feeds a lot of community kids.
By no means am I calling for a halt to these proposed renovations. The proposed construction will bring about a TOTAL TRANSFORMATION to their situation. They do call into question the administration of the administration and their evaluation of the currency required from the suddenly freed up funds from the free cash.
When it's all said and done, who's kidding who - it'll never be said, we will almost be getting a NEW school with NO help from the MSBA.
I should be happy and I am.
STILL....
I feel the need to EXPOSE the EXPOSURE presently presented. The reason for my ridiculously ridiculing riddles is to prevent any repetition of the reprehensible representations that have led to our reputation.

THE TRUTH ABOUT PLANTS AND POETRY
No one really knows
if the FORD SCHOOL garden will close.
Remodeling and renovation
will bring a new creation.
Who cares if kids get FAT?
Processed food is where it's at.

ACCORDING TO BOOTSTRAP, YOU CAN'T BEAT THE BENEFITS OF READING
Plenty of popcorn will be put out for little readers that read the right amount of minutes. Seuss will be sung on the City's stage but This Cat has Boots that are held up by Straps.

THE OCCUPATION CONTINUES
I think we are really talking about a community center model versus a community school model but I don't want to split hairs. That class is next semester.
LPS PROMOTES PLAGERISM
Lynn parents surveyed on how to connect classrooms to home
Since it's not the season for summer reruns what other excuse could there be for what appears to be an outright copying of LPOBE's idea. Now mind you, it's a good idea and one worth copying. I am just a little uncomfortable for not giving them a little credit. Can you spell ATTRIBUTION?
Back where I went to school, they'd FLUNKED you for such a MISTAKE.
I forgot, our DISTRICT is already FLUNKING.

REMODELING HISTORY
Buried in the garden are secrets
hidden contaminants with no regrets.
Asbestos in the tiles
could lead to civil trials.
The rising of the floors
will cause the need for many new doors.
The need for new heaters in every room
will spell the budget's doom.
With new windows they're moving ahead
cause through the old glass they see the lead.
In the raised beds outside the cabbage grows,
how much it'll all cost, nobody knows.

SONG SUNG TRUE BLUE
A while back, I'm not really exactly sure of the date since I don't book their travel plans. In fact they don't even provide me with a written itinerary. Most tourists go to NASHVILLE to visit the GRAND OLE OPRY. Yee Hah!
Well when the writing team of ROWE and WU went to the MUSIC CITY they weren't fiddling around. They went to study the school model to see about getting on the BANjo WAGON. They were there to try and WRAP their heads AROUND the services are served.
The results of that working vacation was the composition of sweet survey that was like a cover of a previously recorded on by LPOBE without giving any recognition or paying any royalties. You know a funny kind of coincidence? My son who spent three weeks in TENNESSEE last summer actually helped put together the LPOBE survey and that's the name of that tune.

WRAP AROUND MY HEART
On a paid vacation to Tennessee
the purpose, to see what they could see.
On a mission were Warry and Wu
to find out how, they do what they do.
They came back with a survey they found.
LPOBE had one right here if they'd had just looked around.
The answers were right here all along
Still our troubles will make a sad country song.
SUMMER LESSONS
I beg your pardon
Fix up Ford and shut down the garden.
Replace those windows all covered with lead.
It's not only the asbestos that we dread.
For the summer, they'll close down the school..
If you think the garden will stay open, you're a fool,

RAISE AWARENESS
I have been looking at this all wrong. We should be thanking DR. LATHAM for all of those raises, promotions, and position creations. Think about it for a minute, look at how much bigger our education budget shortfall would have been.
If we had actually increased the size of the raises then maybe our shortfall would have been shrunk. Wasting all that money on classrooms is too much work. No, padding one's pockets is so much simpler.

WILL THE FORD GARDEN BE SHUT DOWN FOR THE SUMMER?
With all the proposed construction renovation scheduled for this and maybe next summer, the FORD SCHOOL will be shut down for the summer. No problem since last I checked the garden is on the outside and the work is on the inside, right?
Well with two floors of the school being replaced (well not replaced tiled over - Sealing over old asbestos' tile), that means all of the doors will have to be replaced because the old ones won't fit since the floors are going to higher.
Then there are the windows which are being talked about being replaced. I don't really think the construction people are going to want the locals wandering around the job site.
The past couple of years the FORD SCHOOL garden won MULTIPLE awards at the TOPSFIELD FAIR. There are also QUESTIONS OF CURRICULUM and how the students suffer with such a shutdown.
I AM NOT SMART ENOUGH TO KNOW BUT THAT'S WHY I AM ASKING.
