It still looks and feels like winter out there but it is time to start thinking about summer camps! Many registrations have already begun. Below is a list of many local camps. You can also find lots of great camps at the American Camp Association website. For a list of sleepover camps in Connecticut, you can click here.

If you run a day camp that we somehow missed (sorry about that!) please post the information in the comments and we will gladly add it to the article.

Congrats to all students, parents, teachers and administrators at Sage Park. It would seem that…Read More mission statements, transparency, parent involvement all equal excellence. How much would you charge to teach these basics to those that feel the need to hire college students from Chicago to review WHS-those very same people that congratulated you tonight? The students achievements that were honored tonight were very impressive and you make us all proud. Keep up the great work at Sage Park.

Thank you Al and Bill for the follow up comments. For both, as I understand it, the fancy words are,…Read More longitudinal studies. Take the same students, or group of students if the individual data is not available, and see how the test results go from third grade to high school. I've only done a quick scan of the test results for Windsor that R. Eleveld gave us a link to earlier. Along with understanding the Town's audited financial statements (which Bill might help me with), this longitudinal information is something that I hope to work through as time permits. As I write this, I should consider a FOI to see if it already exists. If it already exists, I'm surprised that all of us do not already have easy access to it. When I have the information gathered, I will share summaries here. And for the two of you, I will share the detailed spreadsheets. As I recall, even last night the conversation centered on the High School for turn around, and regardless of what we think of the person currently engaged for the EER, the EER is for the High School only.

R Eleveld - Just to clarify, The Town Ethics Committee ruled (1) that the BOE is subject to the Town…Read More Ethics Code, but (2) they do not have jurisdiction over violations of BOE by laws violations. When someone is brought in front of an Ethics Committee, and comes out vindicated, one of two things happen. They are humbled, or emboldened. The BOE President, and the Superintendent of Schools are emboldened because virtually nothing stands in their way of two person absolute rule, until November 2013. The only obstacle is for one of the Democrat BOE members joining the other four BOE members to reign (the pun works all too well here) them in (this appears unlikely). What is the old saying, Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely? So we have to wait until November to try and fix this situation. In the meantime the voters in Windsor can keep voting NO on the referenda to send the message that we do not want dysfunctional BOE oversight. Or we could get back a functional BOE. Since September 12, 2012, this possibility grow less likely each day.

@Michele, you are correct. The TC can only provide the BoE an amount of money, it can not in anyway…Read More tell the BoE what to do with that money. It could make suggestions, however they carry the same weight as any citizen making any suggestion to the BoE. State law has created the BoE as an island unto itself. They do not even think they are subject to the Town Ethics Code. The voters do have the power to change what they do not like in November. The question is will they again repeat the prior behavior and vote in those that will not make change. Remember Einstein's definition of insanity. It applies here.
