Notes on the way!

There still is no wifi active in City Hall, so I could not liveblog last night's meeting. I did take notes, which I will post shortly. A few highlights:
  • The Burncoat High robotics team came AND BROUGHT THEIR ROBOT, which kicked soccer balls around the chamber, much to everyone's amusement. Excellent!
  • The superintendent's report was on the new environmental plan for the WPS, part of a settlement agreement with the attorney general's office.
  • The contract of the special ed director will not be renewed.
  • Two new teachers were hired; we're going to get word back on if that was under waivers.
  • We got an extensive list of all of the grants funding things in WPS; it's about 15% of the budget.
More coming!

that was great when you observed that there was no backup to the teacher appointments that would document that the teachers being hired were certified. At that point, the HR lady came up to the microphone on the table with the worlds biggest 3 ring binder. She looked down at the binder for a nanosecond then immediately announced that she didn't know, maybe there were waivers issued?

I thought Mayor Lukes put together a task force to address this very isuue and the final report said every thing was working fine!
