IDEAS THIS FINE MONDAY MORNING

Quite a bit of chatter concerning a letter from Christina Alvarez-Arnold in the October 22 to 28 edition of The Gazette regarding the recent IDEA Committee doings. The parents forums in particular are abuzz, as well as a few of the private legal pages.

The letter is being characterized as everything from misleading to "erroneous" but you should really read it yourself. The paper does not have an online presence but is on sale just about everywhere.

One of the parents posted a link to the New York State Freedom of Information/Open Government portal since there seems to be some confusion about what is and is not covered---for your convenience, it is being posted here: Committee on Open Government | Open Government
