Dr. Aaron Lewis - thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I am a teacher in HPS and would never write in on a blog. However, the reporting done by you and Kevin is nothing less than award winning. Who needs the courant. However, I would recommend you send this to the opinion/editorial board of the Courant. As a teacher for 21 years I thought other than the teachers, no one cared. Thank you for reminding me that there are others who do care. I ask all the teachers reading this to share this blog with other teachers. I will be standing PROUDLY in solidarity with Andrea Johnson at the next BOE meeting as we make our voices heard. My husband asked me if this was a teacher would Gnounou, Wareing, and Narvaez still have a job? We all know the answer is no. Now it is up to the Mayor and other members of the Board of Education to stand up to Wareing and call for a vote to dismiss Wareing from the BOE. Did we ever find out when Narvaez first knew about Genao past? I think that it is ironic that the next BOE meeting is at SMSA (April 19, 5pm). Calling all teachers and concerned citizens - Please come out to then next BOE meeting and stand up for students everyhere, whether they live in Hartford or New York.

Thank you. I think we need to ask ourselves , why the leniency for everyone involved. It took the Superintendent almost a week to issue the joint statement with the Mayor. If this were another "mandated reporter" such as a Police officer, who failed as badly as Dr. Ngoudou, I can almost promise the mainstream media would be all over it. The police officer would be villified, most likely suspended and well on the way to being arrested and prosecuted for their failure. Why the double standard?

These meetings have replaced accountability and meaningful conversation among parents, teachers, and the superintendents of schools. The problem has never been that parent’s and teacher’s are not speaking but rather that no one is listening, no one is taking action. The problem is further exacerbated by the truth that no one is being held accountable to the fiduciary responsibility
---------------------------------
Consider what would happen to a private institution that behaved the way the government monopoly school district operates and will continue to operate in perpetuity. Abusive and incompetent schools would be sued and/or abandoned in favor of better schools.

Get the government and its bureaucratic unionized hack-o-rama out of the business of managing schools. Let it fund education the way it funds public food; vouchers.

Kevin -hate to remind you but Superintendent Narvaez and Mayor Bronin's statement stated the obvious - what should have already happening, especially when administrators are so highly paid. The press release stated - We are going to review our policies - Your policies are fine - it's the freaking people who can't interpret and carryout the policies. So frustrating that they think we are all so damn stupid. That statement is double talk for give us time so everyone will forget what happen and we will go on with business as usual. Narvaez, Wareing, Gnounou, keep their jobs and come out unscathed.

I would suggest to look at the obvious and connect the dots to determin a common link. I won't be so foolish to say anything more that that.
