[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not normally alarmist but I’m pretty alarmed.  The regional HS model seems poorly thought through; eliminated compacted math and ELA seems like a terrible decision; and now this [b]open lunch elimination that will destroy clubs at many HS and make it really hard for HS kids to take advanced classes[/b].  All of this is being pushed through so quickly with no real study or discussion and they are all radical changes.  It’s like they are dismantling the entire system.

I am really dumbfounded at how bad Taylor is, and really astounded at the Board.  I’m now really regretting not pushing my youngest to go to a private HS because at this point I’m not sure the system will still be viable in 2-3 years.  It just seems like they are affirmatively trying to ruin it.  And it’s not even a money issue — many of these changes will cost more money to implement.  [/quote]

How does eliminating open lunch destroy clubs and make it hard for HS kids to take advanced classes? Not everyone knows what you are talking about.[/quote]

I know a lot of people are concerned about open lunch changes, but I think the real concern is how Brenda Wolff, who is leaving the board shortly, is trying to push through Taylor's desire to end open lunch, on an expedited schedule, leaving little opportunity for the usual community input. It's the bypassing of the established public process that is the concern, which is being enabled on behalf of Taylor by rubber-stamping members of the Board of Education. Taylor should be working for a hedge fund, with the way he operates. What is he doing in a public organization? He just tries to ram through whatever he wants, and he is a profligate spender with poorly conceived initiatives.[/quote]
