Meeting of Monday 16 September 2002
Minutes

Janet Brown has finished the interview of Dr. Susan Moor, Director of Guidance. Joanna Miller will interview the school psychologist. Rich Tortorici will interview Diane Scricca. Each interview will appear in the local papers and will help to inform the community about our schools.

Our next meeting will take place on Monday, October 21 at 7:30 at St. Paul's Episcopal Church. Diane Scricca, the new Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum will be our speaker.

We would like to invite Carol Hoffman, legal council to the school system, to speak about the new Federal "Leave No Child Behind" program and its effects on the schools. We will also invite Dr. Robert Root, Superintendent of the North Shore School District, who referred to this legislation in his recently published article in the local papers. There may also be a school board meeting focusing on this legislation.

Lucille Cutler is in the process of inviting both Carl McCall and Governor Pataki to speak about their views on education at an upcoming special meeting. News about this event is forthcoming.

Joanna and Al Miller will be sending postcards to contributing members without e-mail.

There are very few articles about the schools appearing in the local papers. We need more! The interviews mentioned above are a good start.
