I think this tactic by McGinn and the district is a disgrace. What really gets me scared is that the…Read More patch just took down an announcement about McGinn and the school uniforms. I didn't see anything inflammatory written in the headline. Beenthere gave us an option to comment. I can't believe free speech is no longer allowed in this town. I was voting for O'Shea but now I'm going with Rubino.

Debra - with all due respect that is a joke. We've all heard this from our middle school kids this…Read More week. I really would have expected better from McGinn. It's deplorable. I take my kids with me to vote in every single election. When I took my SSMS student to vote on the bond I would not allow her to get the bogus 2 point extra credit pass that she would get for me voting. She has to EARN her grades. In the private sector it's called bribery. I guess in the public sector its called a "civics" lesson. I'm taking my kids with me later to reluctantly vote YES on the budget because austerity only hurts the kids, and to vote for LYNDA RUBINO. I will tell them why I will NOT let them vote on the uniform issue. It's a real teachable moment. The scare tactics being used in this election are as much of a joke as the vote on school uniforms and I really hope Rubino brings transparency to this whole disgraceful process.

I'm glad parents are starting to understand the way Admin operates. As for the cyber bullying comments, its should be called PTA Bullies.

Well been there, I haven't explained anything about AP, I told you I don't know. I also did not say…Read More I think that our SAT's are not good, only that you cannot compare them to Jerichos. I said that our kids scores are obviously more than good enough to get them into great schools year after year and have them be successful in college and beyond, and that you should not get caught up in the statistic. I also have not said I think we are a rich district, the state treats us as such along with much of LI....I thought I made clear that I disagree with them. I am not trying to explain away anything, I think the actual facts of our schools' success tell the story.

Problem is Janet you can't have it both ways. When you want to explain away our poor showing on AP…Read More and SAT, you look to demographics and state that parents in Jericho spend so much more privately on their children. When you want to explain the budget mess you look to the state and say that we are being penalized for being a wealthy district.

Hey Matt Hogan, While I don't buy into posts that you are Johnson's press secretary and him having…Read More a hand in running this publication, I do believe myself and many other readers here would appreciate an in depth, unbiased and objective interview w/ him asking the tuff questions your readers asked here. He always seems available to comment on and inflate the slightest bit of positive news, perhaps he would like the opportunity to comment on and explain his take on the latest rankings, etc. Have you or any member of your staff ever directly interviewed him or requested and interview w/ him and would you consider requesting such an interview?

It is nothing short of amazing that people are still rushing to the defense of Johnson/Burris and…Read More their minions at the PTA. What's wrong w/ you people? When the rankings come out positive they do everything they can to publicise them from plaques on the wall to streaming video on the district website and everything in between. Yet not a peep on the latest rankings. 500+ ranking in NYS, people thats based solely on test scores not the # of kids taking the test and how many free lunches the district provides. Do any of you wonder at all why Johnson encouraged kids to "opt out" of NYS testing? If so let me help you out...The scores are going to be awful and would have been worse had all the kids participated. The quality of life in this town and its education system is circling the bowl, we need positive change not the same old go along to get along mentality. Pls think about voting for Ms Rubino, we need some balance and accountability on that board not a bunch of Johnson puppets. Not sure when Johnson's contract is up but he too has got to go, he is slowly destroying this district. We might try to hire Baldwin's superintendant as he really seems to know what he is doing when it comes to AP.
