Republican Town Committe Invites Superintendent of Schools to speak

Mr. Cooper, New Britain's new Superintendent of Schools, was asked to speak to the New Britain Republican Town Committee. With his citing being new set of eyes over the school system he found a tough situation with our accountability state which would normally take 8-9 years however, we need to turn it around in two years. We are not in the position to take it nice and slow. I found no inventory were kept on books with one campus having more than it needs while other lack their needs.


He took this opportunity to quash the rumors that appeared in our local press citing that he is dismantling the bilingual program citing that his granddaughter is taking Spanish in her school because when she gets older and needing a job with her ability of speaking Spanish will be an asset in her getting the job because Spanish will become a widely spoken language in America.

He added the condition of our schools is the worst and have set three plans:

1 Making the schools safe and clean changing the behavioral patterns of our students.

2. Testing students and not passing those that fail.

3. Venture and evaluate all our needs on what we need to do.

We need to update our inventory of books and find what book we lack to enhance our students education.

The Board members put their necks on the line by hiring me therefore, I must ponder things with common sense he concluded.
