Democracy Loses To Malloy's Charter School...

LRPC Recommendations, Specialty Schools in the high schools.

How did Mega High School, closing high schools, specialty schools in the high schools came out of the long range plan which were suppose to focus on the grade structure in the grammar schools and the declining enrollment.

Are the specialty schools another attempt from Dr. Feser, Mr. Cummings and the BOE to start privatizing Milford’s Schools?

Who will run the specialty schools? Hire more "specialty" teachers, buy more computers and specialty equipment, hire more SRO, provide more buses, and upgrade any other technology equipment? After one year claim there isn't enough room to grow in the underestimated space provided?

Does Milord have the money and resources to run a specialty school?

Does Mayor Blake have to increase his tax increase to cover the cost or will that be next year? (INCREASE TAXES, he just said 6 months ago he said no tax increase. There is a surplus. Then he thought to himself, "there is still some money in the "RAINY DAY ACCOUNT", that's a surplus". Surprised to hear a politician in Milford used word art and mislead the people? Then your not listening.

When will a Corporate Charter School Company own and run these "special school programs"?

Is this plan orchestrated by Gov.  Malloy and his administration? His great push to increase the number of charter schools. Superintendent Feser, who wouldn't confront the state about Common Core problems even though the private group she the president of voted to do so. Mr. Cummings introduced magnet and charter schools to the LRPC and from that day forward the LRPC's game plan changed to A MEEEGGGGGAAAAA HIIIIGH SCKOOOOOL. Today we wait for the BOE members to vote on closing a school and voting on the specialty schools.

Did the declining enrollment get fixed?

What program did the LRPC put together to entice Milford residents to send their kids to Milford's Public Schools?

About two years ago Dr. Feser notified the BOE that a brochure was being produced and a campaign was being organized to boaster the Milford Public Schools. But she also said after her neglecting parent communications for so long she was putting a program together to improve her lack of communications with the student's parents. Everyone is still waiting. But since Dr. Feser supports the Common Core State Standards and those standards don't support parents that may be the escape from her parent communication program. Common Core documents should read, WARNING: PARENTS KEEP OUT, YOUR KIDS ARE NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS...

Gov.  Malloy and his administration’s extraordinary efforts to increase the number of charter schools and privatize even more of the state’s public education took a giant leap forward at the last State Board of Education meeting. Malloy and his education administration are parents, teachers and public educations worst enemy. (Whole story below)
