BOE: Make Sure Things Are Equitable

Parkway and Old Beth parents have been speaking out. They do realize that it all affects them and they are very concerned. They have friends with kids in Stratford and Pasadena. A speaker from Parkway at the BOE meeting this week pointed out that all parents have helped their kids education- by sending them to pre-school, by tutoring them,etc. Another speaker from Parkway spoke about elementary extra help. There were plenty of Old Beth and Parkway names on the math petition even though those schools did a lot better on the math tests. I think the community does a great job supporting each other and caring about all kids on all sides of town. The BOE needs to make sure things are equitable across the board and make sure that there aren't 2 sides of town - the haves and have nots.

Ed's note: I agree, this IS a community thing and we are good about supporting each other, but we need to make sure the board gets it too- This is a priority for us.
