Attempts by a State Representative to Control New Britain Schools

Amazingly on the very same day that U.S. Secretary of Education granted a federal waiver relieving our state of the required federal "No Child Left Behind Mandate" our local state representative Robert Sanchez, decided at a local conclave held Wednesday, to express his continued desire to have the state take over five of New Britain's schools without naming which ones with his new utterance however, in the past he had cited the Diloreto school needed to be taken over and subsequently denied having targeted this school when his comments were actually taped.


What is more disturbing is the fact that his new utterance by this representative occurred even after Robert Rader, executive director of the Connecticut Association of School Boards, stated with this waiver, we're not to label schools by one tag anymore such as under performing or failing as stated in his statement in the Hartford Courant. He did in fact continued with his citing with a waiver the districts can earn recognition for improvement over time.

Time has come for this state representative to stop publicly bashing our New School Superintendent, Mr. Cooper, for expressing his concerns with the threat of the school intervention by the state citing that he believes the New Britain school system should remain autonomous.

This state representative should listen to Mr. Robert Rader's comments and act accordingly or plan on losing his re-election bid to represent our citizenry at the state capitol.

    Frank:
    Mr. Sanchez and Democrats in NB in general do not care what anybody says, they know that the Puerto Ricans in NB don't read anything and simply vote blindly.

    And yes, attempts are being made to thwart Superintendent elect Cooper before he even gets here.

  3. The handwriting was on the wall for Mr.Cooper the minute the Board of Education's Leadership chose to put politics ahead of educating our students by not condeming Sherwood & O'Brien's threats against those who voted to hire him.

  5. Mr SAnchez- How canyou ,HONESTLY, want to close FIVE New Britain schools. Have you had any meaningful discussions with NB school officials.? Have you spent any time reviewing any reports on any schools that you would like to have taken over by the state? Have you done ANYTHING AT ALL to support ANYTHING that you propose???????????

  6. To that last poster, I would be surprised, make that extremely surprised, if Sanchez even understands the ramifications of his proposals and is not simply pushing the liberal agenda like a robot.

  8. Writing on the wall dor cooper ??

    Sherwood or O'Brien did not take the time to any of the open "meet and greet" sessions that were offered.

    Informaiton - - Cooper came in first in all search groups of private and public residents. He will be an outstanding SUPT.

    The blogger that said it was political must not know the first thing about what the SUPT does.

    Sherwoods and O'Briens reccomadation was PURELY BPOLITICAL and NOT ON QUALIGICATIONS

    The original vote of the BOE was political and Sharon cast the deciding to vote to hire Cooper.

    I said the Board of Education Leadership's DECISION NOT TO CONDEMN SHERWOOD & O'BRIENS THREATS was political, not the vote itself.

    B.T.W.

    When is the Board of Education going to publish a detailed account of its' expenditures for the superintendant job search, which, by the way, is common practice in most cities & towns?

    Furthermore, for you to refer to Sherwood and O'Brien's threats against your fellow board members as "recommedations" is disingenuous at best, and serves to indicate that you approved this political coverup, which makes you party to it.
