Newburyport according to X. Thoughts, worries, ideas, rumors, hearsay, opinions on my hometown. Laquo; Signs, Signs, Everywhere are Signs…. November 11, 2008. It’s been quite a while since my last post, the election had me quite distracted, and I couldn’t get fired up about much of the local issues, with so much going on nationally. Originally my post was going to be about this letter to the editor in the Newburyport Daily News on Friday, November 7, 2008. Otherwise, what do they say no to? If that is th...

Clarification | Newburyport according to X
https://mrxnbpt.wordpress.com/2008/08/28/clarification
Newburyport according to X. Thoughts, worries, ideas, rumors, hearsay, opinions on my hometown. August 28, 2008. I was emailed today by one of my readers asking if I had posted something on the Daily News website regarding the bike lanes. It was not me, it’s imposter, I’ve actually yet to post on that site, but I may in the future. Just setting the record straight. Also, the bike accident story is quite interesting, i may need to post on it soon…. August 29, 2008 at 12:22 am. August 29, 2008 at 4:32 pm.

Newburyport Schools: September 2011

Monday, September 26, 2011. PE Redux: Further Comments. As a result of a piece in the Boston Globe on the testimony I published in my last post about mandatory PE, it might help to offer some clarifications. However, there are other important things to clarify. That seems to me to closer to a 21st century approach to education, than an arbitrary locking in of mandatory PE, without refining the options available for teachers and students. Links to this post. Tuesday, September 20, 2011. First and foremost...

Thursday, October 15, 2009. Education Priorities for the Mayoral Candidates- Reading Between the Lines, Part 3. In today’s Daily News, the Mayoral Candidates discuss their priorities for the schools, and education in general. It might be helpful to consider what each candidate is offering as priorities. It might also be helpful to read between the lines to see what they aren’t saying. I’ll try to do both. You can read their responses here. Here, and James Shanley. Each School Council, a body comprised of...

Newburyport Schools: School Committee Candidates Night
http://newburyportschools.blogspot.com/2011/10/school-committee-candidates-night.html
Monday, October 3, 2011. School Committee Candidates Night. Since it doesn't appear that any group in the City will be sponsoring a debate, or even a candidates night for the four of us running for the three School Committee seats, I've decided to do one my self. Although I am still working out the format, it will be an opportunity for the community to meet all of us, and ask us questions about our views. Please join me- us, on the 18th. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). An indifferent student prior to...

Monday, September 28, 2009. Swimming with the Big Fish- Searching for a New Superintendent. Tonight, the School Committee met in public session with the consultants hired to conduct the search for a new Superintendent. John Connolly and Al Argenziano will be the two consultants from HYA working with the Screening Committee and the School Committee,. HYA is a national organization, and the search will be national in nature. They were successful- Hudson, you may remember, hired Kevin Lyons. The School Comm...

Newburyport Schools: January 2008
http://newburyportschools.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 4, 2008. My New Year's Revolutions. Some others on the Committee may feel the same as I do; let them share those views on their own blogs. Who will at least ensure that all grants; state, federal, private, that are used to address needs in this City, are kept in a central file, available to any citizen; I would also include in those files any reports required on the expenditures made by the grantee. Y'know, that whole accountability thing. I am resolved to listen at least as much as I talk.

Sunday, October 23, 2011. What If They Had An Election. Last Tuesday, October 18th, the one and only Candidates Night for School Committee hopefuls was held at the Newburyport Public Library. 12 people attended, 17 if you counted the moderator, Rob Kaplan, and the four School Committee candidates. Rob did a terrific job ensuring that every question that was intended was asked, and managed to prevent each of us from sucking the oxygen out of the room with windy answers. The next four years promise dramati...
