http://www.newsday.com/number-of-li-schools-on-needs-improvement-list-triples-1.3311270?cmpid=Breaking

The number of Long Island public schools listed by the state as needing academic improvement has more than tripled this year to 106, prompting Long Island educators to call for speedier overhaul of the federal No Child Left Behind law that has governed academic ratings the past nine years.
Only 28 Island schools were identified last year as needing improvement.
The new additions extend to such well-regarded school systems as Elwood, Half Hollow Hills, Massapequa, Oceanside, Plainview-Old Bethpage, Smithtown and West Islip.

Teacher Face Book Accounts?

Can you please post as a New Thread for Comments and Opinions:

Teachers and Facebook?

What is the district or Union policy on teacher's Facebook pages?

There is so much discussion these days on potential employers reviewing FB and social network sites for hiring decisions.
Also our students are told to watch what they put on Social Network sites...For college board review.
So what do we do as parents, when we Google our teachers crudentials and find a teacher's Facebook page with pictures of them as adults drinking or other inappropiate postings?$#@*?
