I teach in another school district on Long Island. My teachers' union is voluntarily working something out (combination pay raise/give back) with both our BOE and the other unions (administrators/support staff). We've ALL decided that this recession requires sacrifice on everyone's part. We've gotten nothing but kudos from our community. It is possible for teachers to have a true partnership with their community.

BOE- Will You Have the Guts in July?

Attention Board of ED:
Today Mayor Bloomberg in NYC announced his intention that all the city teachers and Principals will receive no raises for the next two years . Now there is a leader with the guts to take on fiscal responsibility. What will you decide when the contract negotiations start in July?

I think a special note of thanks should go out to Trio hardware. every year they go out of their way to promote the parade. Thank you.
Remember to patronize small businesses, they are the back bone of the community.
Ed's note: Couldn't agree more. Trio quietly supports many activities here in Plainview-Old Bethpage that might not happen without them.

The Parade was Wonderful!

It was a lovely day. All the students who participated were wonderful. I noticed that yet again for another year the principal from Parkway was there. It is great to see members of the administration participating in community events on their days off.

We're Not Complaining, Just to Complain

You are completely wrong, blindsided, and maybe a teacher,adminstrator or someone who does not get it. How can you net expect people to be angry when they receive a tax bill that is through the roof, they bring their kids to school where you have to first drive around the greedy picketing teachers who have already parked their lexuses, benzes, and infiniti's in the parking lot. Once you drop your kids off they walk into a building with brownspotted ceilings from the leaks, go into an auditorium whos speaker system is so old that the sound is terrible and then the kids sweat on the hot days because the buildings are so inadequate that they can not handle enough air conditioners. Then you look online and see that the teachers are earning 110.000, 95,000,115,000 etc. Like the last blogger wrote if we felt we were getting a good value for our tax dollar we would not complain but we are not. We are getting shafted by a greedy bunch of people who think they should be millionaires for teaching and a BOE who ignores economic realities of finance(most of them). If you really think people are just complaining to complain then you should do some more research. Enjoy your memorial day weekend:-}

Shame On Us

Like that will happen in Plainview. Look What happen at the last election. The number of people who voted for Gary Bettan was disgraceful. He recklessly votes for the teachers raises, comes to a debate looking like he just came from a blog, and sits up on the stage claiming what he has done. Pretty sad if you ask me. Then you have Stephanie Nelkins who steps up to the plate unlike so many people that would not and she does not get anywhere the votes that she should have gotten. As far as holding the board accountable? the residents of Plainview just showed in the last election that they just do not care enough to get out there and vote for change and scream about the garbage that is going on. So shame on us for not getting involved. As far as accountability, good luck trying to spread that around
