Debra - with all due respect that is a joke. We've all heard this from our middle school kids thisRead 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.

Well said Nora- this is not a lesson on civic responsibility, it's a tactic to get the children toRead More nag their parents to go and vote so they can vote for no uniforms. I'm glad parents are starting to understand the way Admin operates. As for the cyber bullying comments, its should be called PTA Bullies. If you don't think in as the PTA you are shunned as well as your children, that is why people post anonymously.

Are you serious? Do you really believe anyone with an iota of intelligence believes this was a civicRead More responsibility lesson? If the issue of school uniforms were truly on the table, why not have a school-wide vote in the school on a day other than the day the budget and BOE seat are to be voted on. Even the children know the uniform issue is a bogus ruse. Your spin on this obvious manipulation of the children by the administration insults our collective intelligence and, as previously noted, undermines our efforts as parents to teach our children to respect those in positions of authority. Not quite sure I understand the cyber- bullying comment. Discussing statements made to our children, confirmed by many, and our objections to such statements is bullying? Disagreeing with the party line is bullying? Perhaps you are the one who needs further schooling regarding our rights and responsibilities "as citizens in a democracy."

And many of them will leave because the job pays next to nothing. Proctoring will be turned into aRead More complete nightmare

Many companies and municipalities are doing the same, as was predicted when the ACA was debated.Read More Logical business decision.

Well been there, I haven't explained anything about AP, I told you I don't know. I also did not sayRead 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.

Janet, you really seem to know so much about how the district operates, and not just this year, butRead More also the history of decisions made by past Boards. Thank you for presenting facts clearly and intelligently, without sarcasm and threats, and with true knowledge. Kudos to you!!
beentheredonethat May 20, 2013 at 01:17 pm
Problem is Janet you can't have it both ways. When you want to explain away our poor showing on APRead 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 havingRead 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?
Fred Stapleman May 17, 2013 at 09:57 am
It is nothing short of amazing that people are still rushing to the defense of Johnson/Burris andRead 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.

This is the funniest blog post ever. Someone thinks Patch is run by Johnson, another should haveRead More used the more appropriate pseudonym "know it all" and the most recent thinks the PTA is ruining our neighborhood. Go to a meeting, get involved, educate yourself. If you can't go to a meeting watch the local government and school channel. Then perhaps you would know that the bulk of the school budget is dictated by NY state.
