This week's CCT story could have been entitled "Where's Waldo?". The Superintendent is running the District -- but from an undisclosed location (similar to Dick Cheney's situation a few years back).
It's funny -- I get almost as many complaints when I sit quietly, as I do when I'm ranting and raving about the lack of professionalism and apparent stupidity of some people.
So, what's different now?
I think the situation is just as abominable as before -- the only difference is that I have infinitely more confidence in the people dealing with the situation. I may not agree with every member of the new majority on every issue -- but I am absolutely confident that they are in the game for the right reasons -- They have no axes to grind -- and, when given the opportunity, will do the right thing to move the District forward and break the inertia that plagued the Committee this past year.
There's a new School Committee, and on July 1 there will be a new School Superintendent -- somebody from Away who has yet to piss anybody off!! (Maybe, in a spirit of evolution and goodwill, the members of the teachers union will even elect a new SEA President.) Then, we can all hopefully start looking forward -- and facing some of the huge financial issues that are looming out there -- instead of constantly fighting history.
Don't tell me about 1972 -- tell me about 2011, and 2012, and 2013 ...

Bob what happen to the vice chair at Mondays meeting. Seem your MAJORITY WASN'T ALL THERE. I guess we still pick and choose what meetings we will attend.
I have no idea who was or wasn't at Monday's meeting -- which I believe was in Executive Session (that means YOU aren't supposed to be talking about it!)
But, since the meeting was at 6 PM -- many people who work in the private sector (including me) couldn't have been there. Not everybody gets to watch Oprah in the afternoon.
SC members are unpaid volunteers -- nobody expects (those with jobs) to give up their employment.
Also -- while I may think there are 4 good members on the Committee, I don't have a majority -- I control only my own ballot.
how appropriate that happenings at an executive session meeting be discussed publicly..Bob, this is just more of the same crap from the minority of madness.
