The polls will be open tomorrow, Thursday, from 12:00 noon to 8:00 pm, at the Cornwall Town Hall.
I received over 20 emails in response to my Tuesday email and I appreciate that communication. That has provoked me to give you one more thing to consider . . .
I realize that this is the Region One budget which naturally refers to HVRHS, but if the contention continues to be over the assessment of the Central Office then more of you MUST consider the fact that Patricia Chamberlain, Diane Goncalves & Sam Herrick are employed by SEVEN schools and Boards of Education!!! SIX of those seven schools make no complaints in regard to the Central Office’s job performances. The HVRHS Region One Board and budget are the ONLY newsworthy and negative situation. I do not think this is a coincidence. I think that there are persistent contributors to the issues that are troubling our high school!
SIX out of SEVEN of our public schools in Region One are totally satisfied with the accomplishments and support of the Central Office. Six out of seven — please think about this!
Thanks, Becky Hurlburt
Now on this statement…SIX of those seven schools make no complaints in regard to the Central Office’s job performances. The HVRHS Region One Board and budget are the ONLY newsworthy and negative situation….
Becky! What about all the failing grades, what about the smack down of Matt Harnett for his outright FALSE statements about Housatonic as compared to Hotchkiss and Kent, what about the law suit against the superintendent????? Just to name a few items, all these not created by the media, but by the people themselves.
And on this statement….
SIX out of SEVEN of our public schools in Region One are totally satisfied with the accomplishments and support of the Central Office. Six out of seven — please think about this!
This is a total lie, the schools Becky include more than BOE members, and administrators…if you would take the time to talk to students, TEACHERS, non-certified staff, and the public, you would find out how far out-of-step with reality you are. Six out of seven schools are not totally satisfied, that statement is a total fabrication.
This email was a “scare tactic” sent out the day before a vote in an attempt to sway the vote with mis-information. In politics, its called dis-information…and it worked in Cornwall, but, thank God, not the rest of the region
