New Jersey School Districts Do You Have TERC and are FIGHTING IT   Message List

Re: [beyondterc] Re: New Jersey School Districts Do You Have TERC and are FIGHTING IT

The superintendent does not have a curriculum coordinator and neither does she
have curriculum meetings. The board member that was told to leave the math
meeting is on the curriculum committee. They have never had a meeting since the
new superintendent was hired. I personally don't think the superintendent has a
clue about this program and has heard about it somewhere and she now feels like
an expert in EM. AS for the grant(s), there isn't one to pay for this program.
And only prayer is going to pay for the additional $25 dollars per student in
2008 for materials and supplies for EM. I received a copy of an email that the
superintendent has sent out to her attorney and members of the school board. She
is questioning my interest in EM and why I am doing so much research into this
program. She has also noted in this email, that she is looking into informal
harassment charges against myself. I had also started to look into her public
personnel files at previous school
districts before she came to this district. Something stinks in EM land and I
am starting to get a whiff of it!!
