I must admit, some of what I am hearing about this Loyola University study is very disturbing. TheRead More fact that many of the interviews are being conducted by untrained students would make anyone wonder about the value of its recommendations. This whole study seems to have been misconceived and it should be an immediate target for any budget cutting. A study would be worthwhile, but it should be focused on earlier grades and one with a more professional approach.

For James Walsh, and everyone else trying to comprehend the increase in BOE spending, coupled withRead More the decline in the number of students, here are the students numbers for the Town of Windsor Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, June 30, 2012, see page 110 (http://www.townofwindsorct.com/finance/): 2003 - 4,462 2004 - 4,394 2005 - 4,354 2006 - 4,240 2007 - 4,150 2008 - 4,098 2009 - 3,966 2010 - 3,759 2011 - 3,627 and 2012 - 3,504

I want to thank R Eleveld, James Walsh, the Concerned Mothers and Fathers and others for bringingRead More important information forward. The massive increase in spending on both an aggregate and per pupil basis over the last decade with no results to show for it, the bloated beaurocracy and adminstration that is sucking money and resources away from the children and then has the audacity to blame taxpayers, the complete mishandling of the equity study all point to the need to both cut the education budget and change leadership.

Really? So they can start banning sports because of injuries.
Just my opinion April 10, 2013 at 11:22 am
One big issue is even though my child plays school sports she plays travel sports so an injury fromRead More travel might not be recorded as travel and go under school making the study wrong. Many children play outside of school how would they make sure they have proper data. Maybe they should document something that they can be sure that the info they use is correct.

@Sean, irrelevant, only because parents think their child is the next great athlete and are willingRead More to pay the thousands of dollars to get them a spot on a team. Typically many of those child athletes would have a difficult time making the HS team without Daddy's money.
