Hmm...After a single kick off meeting, then nothing. Hmmm..........where have I heard THAT scenario before? <br /><br />Oh yes, Maria Geryk's passive-aggressive approach "working with" School Committee members on the implementation of an elementary foreign language program! At the first meeting, her representatives were there, at subsequent meetings, they weren't. And so the program began with a whimper, not with a bang.<br /><br />Any predictions on when Maria shrugs her shoulders, sheds a tear for the cameras, and pulls the plug on the elementary language program? I'll go with early 2012 so that we have nothing in the fall of that year. <br /><br />It's only the beginning. How do we solve a problem like Maria? We don't.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035949355013113578.post-2137220159158937872011-05-18T15:52:43.890-04:002011-05-18T15:52:43.890-04:00I know Cherry Hill Golf Course is doing lousy (so ...I know Cherry Hill Golf Course is doing lousy (so what else is new).<br /><br />I believe the LSSE Commission is meeting this evening to discuss Hawthorne property, and reopening War Memorial Pool (they will probably come up with an excuse not to) and I believe budget update may be on the list for programs and the golf course.<br /><br />Unfortunately, if no reporter is there to cover it...Larry Kelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02614645831526190536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035949355013113578.post-42819919229468497562011-05-18T13:09:05.506-04:002011-05-18T13:09:05.506-04:00Has anyone checked to see if LSSE is making their ...Has anyone checked to see if LSSE is making their revenue projections for this year.

They haven't exactly been honest in their dealings with other organizations around town either. Talk to some of the groups that "compete" with them. You will find that LSSE has done what they can to take over and push these groups out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035949355013113578.post-15223052170588084352011-05-17T22:36:31.252-04:002011-05-17T22:36:31.252-04:00This, folks, is what you get when you let "th...This, folks, is what you get when you let "them" run Catherine Sanderson off the School Committee.<br /><br />Even if you didn't agree with her, you enemy's enemy is your friend and I doubt she would be silent about this were she still on the School Committee...Ednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035949355013113578.post-65119791382862201862011-05-17T21:38:16.510-04:002011-05-17T21:38:16.510-04:00Not only beloved by single parents -- a life line ...Not only beloved by single parents -- a life line to two parent families as well!
