The School Committee reconvened last night after a two week period in which Boston Public Schools has been featured prominently in the news. This includes issues regarding COVID-19 testing and outbreaks, calls for reforms to the new exam school policy, and inadequate staffing - particularly for our English Language Learners and to support the mental health of our students and staff. Reference was made to each of these topics in the Superintendent's report, and these themes were the focus of public comment. 41 parents, teachers, students, and community members expressed frustration with the way many of these issues are being handled and called for action from the Superintendent and School Committee. The School Committee only heard one presentation, which was an update regarding the implementation of MassCore standards for the district's high schools. The Committee was supposed to vote on the closing of three of the district's middle schools -- the Jackson Mann, the Irving, and the Timilty -- but this was delayed by the Superintendent to continue engagement with families and community members of impacted schools. The Superintendent also presented simulations on the new Exam School admission policy, which had been requested by School Committee members and the public since the adoption of this new policy in July. However, many questions still remained, as parents pointed out missing information in the data and a School Committee member formally called for reconsideration of the 10 bonus points included in the new policy.

Terri Goon, President of Liberty Toastmasters North, joins Kim in the studio.  Liberty Toastmasters is an organization that assists members in improving speaking and listening skills.  Liberty Toastmasters also helps members bring clarity to topics so that communication with others can be effective.  It is an excellent way to practice speaking in front of others before speaking in public.  Liberty Toastmasters-Denver and Liberty Toastmasters-North meet twice a month and welcome new members. You have the opportunity to hear three different veteran stories this weekend on America's Veterans Stories.  All shows can be heard on KLZ 560 AM and KLZ 100.7 FM.  Sunday at 3pm Kim will rebroadcast her interview with Nellie Paler.  On both Saturday and Sunday evenings at 10pm previously recorded interviews, with other veterans who have served our country, are broadcast.  Kim reports on her experience at last night's Lone Tree City Council Meeting.  The city government intentionally makes it difficult to participate in meetings with inconvenient scheduling times of the meetings.  There is no transparency as the city refuses to audio or video record the meetings, therefore the only public record of the meeting is written action minutes.  Terri interjects that in Longmont the meetings are offered live via streaming and they do record the meetings for future reference. When looking up the definition of courage, think of Juli Paulsen.  Juli is an immigrant from Colombia and became a citizen in 2019.  This year she was elected Vice Chair of the GOP in Weld County.  Working with 1500 parents, they held Weld County RE-4 school board members accountable.  This resulted in both the President of the RE-4 School Board and the school Superintendent to resign on Monday evening.  Juli is an example that we can all be part of the solution.  Get involved and be active in local government affairs. Kim and Terri welcome fellow members of Liberty Toastmasters to present on either Liberty: The Key to Prosperity or Gratitude.  There are many nuggets of wisdom in their perspectives:  how despair and hope build into determination; we must keep our beacon of light burning and in doing so we must give in order to receive; it is child abuse if you do not teach your children about the great country we live in; in America you have the freedom to be the very best you, you can be; the assertion that freedom is a necessity as we must refuse to capitulate to government mandates and; people with gratitude in their heart are the happiest.

Is it time we rethink the K-12 model? Our education system needs some major updates, including more flexibility, greater focus on student identity, and a college and career readiness plan that starts in kindergarten. In this episode, we continue our conversation with Dr. Joe Gothard, Superintendent of Saint Paul Public Schools, exploring these points and more in a discussion around career readiness.Among a plethora of insights, Dr. Gothard shares his unconventional idea of the 12-Hour School Day. Could it really be a solution to providing students with more access to work-based learning, more flexibility in their coursework, and make it easier for them to work, be involved in after-school activities, and take classes that they're excited about?Listen to find out!If you missed our last episode with Dr. Gothard, we talked about building systemic equity into a large urban district that is primarily made up of minority students and families.

You're listening to the Westerly Sun's podcast, where we talk about news, the best local events, new job postings, obituaries, and more. First, a bit of Rhode Island trivia. Today's trivia is brought to you by Perennial. Perennial's new plant-based drink “Daily Gut & Brain” is a blend of easily digestible nutrients crafted for gut and brain health. A convenient mini-meal, Daily Gut & Brain” is available now at the CVS Pharmacy in Wakefield. Now for some trivia. Did you know that Rhode Island native, Paul Konerko is a former MLB first baseman who played for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Cincinnati Reds and, for most of his career, the Chicago White Sox. Konerko helped the White Sox win the 2005 World Series over the Houston Astros, the franchise's first since 1917. From 2006 to 2014 he served as the White Sox captain. Now, we turn our feature story…. Proposals to move eighth grade students from Westerly Middle School to Westerly High School's Babcock Hall are getting a range of responses, including concern, opposition, support and even a call to lobby the Town Council to reconsider the $50 million borrowing cap it has imposed on a final school redesign plan. Moving the eighth grade to Babcock Hall is part of the two school redesign plans the School Building Subcommittee has identified as being worthy of further exploration. Superintendent of Schools Mark Garceau recently asked the School Committee for input on the concept of moving the eighth grade to Babcock Hall. Garceau has at times discussed the idea separately from school redesign proposals, saying it might get students interested in Westerly High School by exposing them to educational and extracurricular offerings and could slow the tide of students leaving the district to attend other high schools. On Wednesday, several parents opposed to the idea spoke during a School Committee meeting. A few common criticisms emerged, including concerns that the eighth grade students would feel isolated in a "school within a school," whether such a change should be made as students continue to adjust to life in the time of COVID-19, and concerns that eighth grade students would have too much interaction with older high school students. Parents also said they were concerned about transportation, participation in sports and other extracurricular activities, and whether eighth grade students would have appropriate access to student support systems such as guidance counselors, mental health professionals and deans. Jim Nyberg, one of the parents who spoke during the meeting said: "There are a lot of known unknowns. If we are sure we want to do this, it would seem that we need more time." On Wednesday, the School Committee approved the subcommittee's request to hire JCJ Architecture, which has offices in Hartford and Boston, to serve as architect/engineer for the redesign process.

She was the beloved wife of Vincenzo Algieri who predeceased her in 2015. Born in Corigliano, Calabria, Italy, Luigina proudly worked at the Westerly Hospital for 25 years until she retired in 2004. She was a communicant of the St. Pius X Church and took pride in making a warm and welcoming home. She was a talented cook and dessert maker and she enjoyed continuing her Italian traditions with her family. She loved spending her summers outdoors and enjoying her flower and vegetable gardens. She was pure definition of love and anyone who had the pleasure of meeting her felt that love and compassion. She was absolutely selfless and did anything for her family and friends. She will be lovingly remembered by her four children, two siblings, her nine grandchildren, two sisters-in-law, and many nieces and nephews. Her family would like to thank the Westerly Hospital for their compassion, care and support during her brief illness. Thank you for taking a moment with us today to remember and celebrate Luigina's life. That's it for today, we'll be back next time with more!

Gorges State Park, located about halfway between Cashiers and Brevard, is set in the midst of plunging waterfalls, rugged river gorges, sheer rock walls and a high concentration of rare species. The Park receives over 80 inches of rain each year which is enough rain to qualify the area as a temperate rain forest. Most people are drawn to the park to explore Rainbow Falls, and Turtle Back Falls which lies just upstream, as well as Bearwallow Falls which lies in the northern section of the Park. Backcountry-style recreation has been a hallmark of Gorges with distance hiking & backpack camping…but trout fishing, mountain biking and horseback riding are also welcome in various parts of the Park's rugged interior.In this episode, I sit down with Kevin Bischof, the new Park Superintendent for Gorges State Park, and we talk about many of the things that make this park so special. Kevin goes in depth to describe the new front-country campground that is nearing completion, the challenges of managing a remote park that shares a boundary with a National Forest, waterfall & hiking safety, and environmental education programs. I was also surprised to learn there are actually 20 named waterfalls within the park, but due to the steepness and rugged nature of this park, they are only accessible to the most arduous and experienced hiker.If you've been looking for an opportunity to explore the western North Carolina mountains without the large crowds, this episode is for you.

In this episode, we spoke with Kenda Lawson, M.Ed., Founder/CEO of Owls Education, about how using data in the right ways can influence how our students learn for the better.

You're listening to the Westerly Sun's podcast, where we talk about the best local events, new job postings, obituaries, and more. First, a bit of Rhode Island trivia. Today's trivia is brought to you by Perennial. Perennial's new plant-based drink “Daily Gut & Brain” is a blend of easily digestible nutrients crafted for gut and brain health. A convenient mini-meal, Daily Gut & Brain” is available now at the CVS Pharmacy in Wakefield. Now for some trivia. Did you know that Providence native, Christopher Iannetta was a professional baseball catcher. He played for the Colorado Rockies, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Seattle Mariners, and Arizona Diamondbacks from 2006 to 2019. In college, he played for the North Carolina Tar Heels.  Now for our feature story: The town's teachers, school principals and administrators are analyzing the performance of each student on the Rhode Island Comprehensive Assessment System test with an eye toward understanding how to help them improve. Like most districts in the state, Westerly saw significant declines in the recently released results. Results of the test were released to school districts by the state Department of Education on Oct. 28. Parents should receive reports on their children in the next couple weeks. The test was administered this past spring and state officials had previously decided not to administer the test in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Students in grades 3-8 take the RICAS, which gauges proficiency in English and mathematics. This was the third time the test was administered in Rhode Island and is based on comprehensive assessment tests used by Massachusetts' public schools. The federal government requires states to implement standardized testing or risk losing federal funding for education. Just 36.9% percent of Westerly students achieved proficiency in the English language arts section of the test, compared to 51.8% in 2019; and just 17.7% achieved proficiency in mathematics, down from 38% in 2019. Each school in the district experienced a decline in all areas of the test with the exception of Springbrook Elementary School. Westerly students who took the test did better, on average, than their peers throughout the state. A total of 33% of Rhode Island students who took the test this year were deemed proficient in English language arts, down from 38% in 2019. Only 20% of students in the state who took the test were proficient in math, down from nearly 30% in 2019. Superintendent of Schools Mark Garceau stressed that until all Westerly students are proficient he will never be satisfied. "In any year, unless we are at 100% proficiency for all kids, it's not what I'm looking for," Garceau said. "... But in a COVID year I don't think anyone is surprised that everybody saw significant declines in ELA and mathematics." Still, Garceau said, he was concerned about the overall degree of decline in Westerly and the steep drop-off in performance on the mathematics section of the test both in Westerly and throughout the state. Garceau said: "We are investing a lot of energy in supporting our kids' social-emotional well being so they can attend to their academic learning."  About 20-25% of Westerly students remained in distance learning for the entirety of the 2020-21 school year. Rhode Island Commissioner of Education Angélica Infante-Green said the state Department of Education is working to assist school districts throughout the state to make up ground lost to the pandemic. For more about the coronavirus pandemic, the recovery, and the latest on all things in and around Westerly, head over to westerlysun.com.

Education has reached a tipping point; people are waking up to the idea that we can and should do things in a different way. The challenge is how to actually enact change in a large urban district. St. Paul Public Schools reaches 35,000 students, 79%  of whom identify as a race other than white, with 125 languages spoken by these students at home. In this episode, we talk with SPPS Superintendent Dr. Joe Gothard about what needs to be done to build systemic equity into our urban education system. Our conversation runs the gamut of hot topics facing K-12 education, including:How COVID-19 brought to light so many disparities among urban students and their families and what school districts must do to bridge those gapsDigital natives vs. digital immigrants and how this affects the teacher-student relationshipWhat's wrong with our high school graduation requirements, and why it's affecting our students' workforce readinessMaking tough decisions, like school closures, for the long-term benefit of all studentsBuilding systemic equity into every aspect of your district's culture, strategy and initiativesHow to include parents and families into DEI conversations and initiatives: the two-generation approachOne word appears consistently in our conversation on systemic equity: identity. How can education do a better job of supporting each individual student's passions, interests and needs, and then help them build their identity?We answer all these and more in this fascinating conversation with Dr. Gothard.

ClassCast Podcast Ep.080 features Doug Roberts, the founder and CEO of the Institute for Education Innovation (IEI), speaking with host Ryan Tibbens about empowering educators, supporting superintendents, and connecting innovative education entrepreneurs with the schools and students they want to serve. After starting his career as a history/social studies teacher, Doug filled a variety of roles before launching IEI, which is a unique organization designed to support superintendents. Doug has strong feelings about empowering educators; hiring, training, and trusting great teachers; and giving excellent educational vendors, large and small, a level playing field to compete for contracts in a variety of school settings. Doug's recent work with superintendents has led to the creation of the Supes' Choice Awards, a contest and award program that is the first of its kind. Listeners will find Doug's focus on high quality service, pragmatism, and supporting students to be honest and refreshing.

Arntzen told MTPR that her potential rule would seek exemptions for school policies to allow parents to make "responsible choices." She says the rule is needed because the "one-size-fits-all" model doesn't work for all kids in school.

Loudoun County, Virginia has become the epicenter for several public school controversies including CRT - Critical Race theory. That pales in comparison to the recent discovery that Loudoun County Public Schools and the Superintendent have failed to report, as required by state law, rapes and assaults in several of the high schools. We dive into the details and discuss how a 14-year old 'gender fluid' male student, accused of forcible sodomy and forcible fellatio in the girls bathroom, was allowed to enroll in a different school where another sexual assault and abduction occurred.Become a Player in the biggest, baddest and most dangerous game of all - the Game of Crimes:https://open.acast.com/public/patreon/fanSubscribe/6295926Join us at Patreon.com/gameofcrimes for great content you won't hear anywhere elseDonate at paypal.me/gameofcrimes or go to paypal.com and use our email: gameofcrimespodcast@gmail.comGo to GameOfCrimesPodcast.com for more info and NEW MERCH!Follow us on...twitter.com/gameofcrimesfacebook.com/gameofcrimespodcastinstagram.com/gameofcrimespodcastSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
