Letter to BoE regarding SHS Adminstration guilty plead to misconduct

Dear Stamford Board of Education
 
I am writing today to express my concerns about the administration at Stamford High School.   As a voter and a taxpayer, I am bothered by the fact that these individuals could possibly be returned to their roles in our schools, after they have plead guilty to not reporting an incident related to our children’s welfare.  I feel strongly that these individuals should not be returned as it will undermine their credibility within the building, within our community and cast a longer shadow over our district.  I do not see how they can be effective leaders moving forward
 
I would like to see them both terminated as soon as contractually possible
 
Thank you

THINGS THAT SOUND DIRTY AT THANKSGIVING, BUT AREN'T...

THINGS THAT SOUND DIRTY AT THANKSGIVING, BUT AREN'T...

"Whew, that's one terrific spread!"
"I'm in the mood for a little dark meat."
"Tying the legs together keeps the inside moist."
"Talk about a huge breast!"
"It's Cool Whip time!"

"If I don't undo my pants, I'll burst!"
"Are you ready for seconds yet?"
"Are you going to come again next time?"
"It's a little dry, do you still want to eat it?"
"Just wait your turn, you'll get some!"

"Don't play with your meat."
"Just spread the legs open & stuff it in."
"Do you think you'll be able to handle all these people at once?"
"I didn't expect everyone to come at once!"
"You still have a little bit on your chin."

"Use a nice smooth stroke when you whip it."
"How long will it take after you stick it in?"
"You'll know it's ready when it pops up."
"Wow, I didn't think I could handle all of that!"
"How many are coming?"

"That's the biggest one I've ever seen!"
"Just lay back & take it easy...I'll do the rest."
"How long do I beat it before it's ready?"

I'm participating in Movember and for 30 days I've committed to changing the face of men's health. I'm asking you to support my efforts by making a donation at http://mobro.co/herzstache.
 
We need to take action, as the current state of men's health is unacceptable:
 
·      In the US, men die on average almost 5 years earlier than women 
·      1 in 7 men will develop prostate cancer
·      Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in men ages 15-35 years
·      More than four times as many men as women die by suicide in the US
 
The Movember Foundation is working around the clock and around the world to improve the lives of men and their families affected by prostate cancer, testicular cancer and mental health problems. They can't do this without our donations, so please contribute to my efforts to make a difference.

Thank you for your support. Together, we can change the face of men's health.

Stamford Board of Election Endorsements

So for those of you asking about STAMFORD Board of Education, I am voting for Betsy Allyn, Jackie Heftman and Julia Wade tomorrow.  Betsy is a hard working parent who will bring a much needed voice of reason to the board.  She has worked her way through the PTO's and I believe can accurately articulate the frustration we have all encountered at time.  

I am supporting Jackie and Julia as well, because they deserve to be re-elected,  They understand the process, and how the system works. The current board has achieved a level of efficiency and has cut back on the political showboating and public disagreement.  I realize that this is not a huge ringing endorsement, but as someone else said, it is better much than the alternatives.

Speaking of the alternatives, everything I have heard about Mike Altamura and heard directly from Andy George does not make any sense to me.  They seem like nice guys, but don't have any real clue as to what it takes to govern our school systems,  They have been critical of the decisions that the current board has made (perhaps rightfully at times), but without any significant proposals of what they are going to do differently or how they would address the issues currently impacting our system.  They have used questionable tactics.  I honestly believe they would be run over and completely ineffective, or worse would bring us back to the days of bomb throwing and ineffective political showboating.

Feel free to forward and tag others (or disregard)
