Eddie J. and Patrina G. You both owe Dr. Hinton a FULL public apology regardless of his return to…Read More health or not (a health issue he has been fighting for over a year) at some point. Be prepared to put in it the newspaper and not in a moronic blog.

The school board needs to let the community of Glen Cove know what is going on in our own district!!…Read More I do not need to read it in Newsday or on the evening news what is going on! The board has forgotten that it was the residents of Glen Cove that voted for them! We had faith they would represent us & so far all I see is lies & secrets!! Why is the Board not answering any of our questions??? Is there anyone out there that knows the anwers what is the big secret?? Why are we being kept in the dark?? There is NO WAY PRINCIPAL HINTON went on medical leave he was asked to leave so why the lie??? Do we look stupid!!!! And where is the proof that they was any wrong doing I would love to see it! As a community we should gather together & demand that the board tell us what the hell is going on! I am embarresed that I have to hear what is going on in my own home town in the news! The board should be ashamed of themselves! And can someone please tell me who over sees the Board!!

This is the worst run school district on the north shore. It is a disgrace for the amount of school…Read More tax that we pay and then if we want out children to get a good education we have to opt for private schools.The Sunshine board should be held accountable for the mess.

To Mr. Bailey: I want to thank you very much for your response, and it does answer my question.…Read More Hope everything is okay, and I wish you all the best in the upcoming election.
Eric Bailey May 11, 2013 at 08:24 pm
I appreciate the well wishes and opportunity to get better acquainted with everyone. Tom, my…Read More apologies for the delay, but I was tied up with a family medical issue. Your question certainly deserves an answer. In this economy, taxpayers are hurting just as much as our schools (financially at least). That is the reason the tax cap was established in the first place. I feel that the school district must look into other sources for meeting it's budgetary needs. I have long been an advocate of grant applications and am aware of at least a dozen potential sources that the district could and should look into as just one way to ease the burden on taxpayers. I hope this answers your question.

Mr. Bailey, I think it's safe to assume that you're computer literate and that you're aware of the…Read More existence of Glen Cove Patch. After all, they just did a profile on you, right? Okay, I asked a question - a serious question (above) - that I really expect to be answered before I can consider voting for you in the upcoming school election. And, you know, with an overall voter turnout hovering around 8% or so, every vote counts that much more. So, although I would like you to address the question here, it would also be acceptable if you were to acknowledge it, and respond at any venue that's convenient for you. Just to reiterate, I will not vote for *any* candidate that doesn't answer the question.

Not renew under personnel issues is what sticks out to me most when reading. Working in Human…Read More Resources myself over the years ....this usually eludes to some internal strife or abuse of power over other employees.
From what i can ferret out sounds like this might have been the case & if that is the problem then no wonder why the district has been thru 4 spuperintendant in 9 yrs. .. the fish stinks from the head & if you chop of the head and it still stinks -- keep chopping ... I applaud them cleaning house!

On the contrary, I am expressing my support for the public and their right to have their grievances…Read More heard and addressed.

Glenn why can't information be given to actions while leaving the persons accused of such actions…Read More anonymous until a determination is made? That gives the taxpayers and community answers while not causing irreversible damage to a

The school budget vote is coming up. Does any of the school budget go to legal fees?

Regarding transparency: As I said at the last School Board meeting, translucency would be a better…Read More choice of word, and even that would be an improvement. The decision by six of the seven Board members to fire Kevin Wurtz, who I think was the best administrator we have ever had, with 10 years of experience, is the worst decision that they have ever made. Donna Brady's praise of Keven, just before she voted to fire him was the epitome of hypocrisy. The community is very unhappy and will continue to show it.

In all of the comments posted by cc (who hides behind a pseudonym) on Patch there have been none…Read More that offered one iota of proactive information or commentary on Glen Cove or the region. All have been negative and accusatory with some bordering on libel with no basis in any factual information. This commentor seems to have no real postive interest in or respect for the Glen Cove community. Sad. However freedom of speech gives persons who do this the right to present this self image and gives the rest of us a good base line comparator for a destructive versus a constructive approach.

Sad what has happened to the city! Not only the schools corrupt but what about city hall? It is all…Read More about the money and power. Follow the money and you find the answers to all the city's problems. Did you ever see a politician leave office with less then he came in with.

There is another very disturbing issue going on at the moment which has been overshadowed by the…Read More testing scandal. Very quietly, the School Board, at the recommendation of the Superintendent, Dr. Joseph Laria, has not renewed the contract of the most important employee of the School District - the Assistant Superintendent and Business manager, Kevin Wurtz. He has been doing a superlative job for us for 10 years - far longer than anyone in the administration presently or even in recent memory. What is going on? Why will the School Board or Dr. Laria not address this issue?

CC maybe we should look at the fact that Suozzi and council members are products of the GC…Read More educational system. Found out that the gal who did my Brazilian the other day not only went to GC but her father is on the city council. Quite a testament to the high level education one gets here.

Obfuscation, not transparency, is now, and has been the policy of this and many other School…Read More Districts. Why has it taken since November to announce this investigation? Why are teachers, whose job performance and rewards, both monetary and otherwise, be permitted to proctor exams? This is a problem all over this country, most recently involving Atlanta, Georgia. The education departments of the Federal and State governments are responsible for these stupid policies. And testing in all types of non educational jobs is just as suspect. I wouldn't be so anxious to blame some teachers who might feel that their students need a little extra help in looking a little better on the rapidly increasing proliferation of standardized tests. The real culprit is the government and it's policies.

This is ridiculous. It's like an article in the New Yorker: A lot of verbiage that takes forever…Read More to get to a point. Why can't counsel just say that a certain allegation has been made about .... whatever ..... and that it is being investigated thoroughly. Counsel can then remind the audience that, at this point, it is only an allegation and, therefore, specific details cannot, in all fairness, be disclosed. I think reasonable people would accept that. But to not even discuss what has been alleged? That is, quite frankly, insulting to the people who pay the bills in this district -- the taxpaying community.
