Power of Ten Reminder
Message from Dr. Gordon re: Forum on the Future of Educational Assessment TONIGHT

Dear Parents:

Each school year, students are tested with a variety of purposes in mind. Have you ever considered what you want and need from educational testing? Do you have concerns about testing in schools? Have you ever wondered about why your child is tested and whether you can better help him/her to be prepared? Let us work together to answer these questions and others like them.

 

 

Parents, educators and students who are interested in the future of educational testing are invited to participate and share their thoughts during a public forum held by the Gordon Commission on the Future of Assessment in Education. Learn more about the work being done to change testing nationally and how these changes can affect your school-aged children for the better.

 

 

Please join us on Thursday, April 26, 2012 from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm at Rockland Community College, Technology Center, 145 College Road, Suffern, NY. Light refreshments will be served. This event is free and open to the public.

 

 

A confirmation is not necessary to attend, but will be helpful for our planning. To confirm your attendance or for additional information, please email Jamila Brathwaite at jbrathwaite@cejjesinstitute.org. To learn more about the Gordon Commission visit www.gordoncommission.org

 

Best Regards,

Edmund W. Gordon

Last Minute Change: Board Plans to VOTE on BUDGET TONIGHT!

Posted on
OK…in true East Ramapo form, the Board put up the agenda only this morning and we confirmed that there was no public speaking. At 2:30 the agenda was ‘revised’ to include public speaking. They are also calling for the Board to adopt the budget tonight. According to the budget outline, the Board was to adopt the budget on 4/6/11.

Why would the Board be doing things this way? Well, to confuse the public and provide the least amount of notice to hear from the public. The last time there was public speaking was 3/16/11 and there have been proposed changes to the budget. We have not been afforded the time to speak about those changes yet….and what impact will the resoration of fund from Gov. Cuomo have on the buget?
What is the hurry? Maybe it has to do with the Board having to make a decsion about what Dr. O’s future is with the District….that has to be addressed by 3/31/11. Take a look at the AGENDA for 3/31/11…it looks rather ominous.
