Congratulations to our Educational Assistants for their hard fight and victory last night at the school board meeting. The EA's and their President provided heartfelt and passionate testimony about how much they love working with our kids and the important roles they play in our schools. Swayed by the testimony provided, Director Bonds moved to restore the 40 EA positions as EA positions instead of the administrations proposal to create social worker assistants and other unspecified positions.
The committee also decided to send the administration's busing proposal back to the drawing board once again after a very lengthy discussion. However, this time the board discussed the importance of the board and administration working together in a creative manor in trying to figure out the best way to cut transportation costs. This is definitely an issue that everyone should be paying close attention too, because it will have direct impact on school enrollments.
Please be sure to attend the Sept. 9th school board meeting on the new mandates from DPI.

Yay! I'm so glad there was a positive resolution THIS time. I hope we can have success in explaining to the board the many, many faults of NCLB.
