Just got the flier from Ed Sweeney…he does “not share my values”…I value a school member candidate that is open minded and concerned with safety over aesthetics!! As a teacher and as a resident, I DO support the fences…all community members should as well since post Sandy Hook there is a new reality regarding the safety of our students and the school grounds.
Hello TE/Teacher and Resident,
I have been a resident in T/E for 23 years and a parent in the school district for 14 of those years. I’m still active in the school district and will be for years to come.
I have polled many teachers about the fencing initiative. I haven’t spoken to one teacher, or one resident for that matter, who say they support it.
I’m curious, why come out now?
Hi Shining Light,
To be honest, I was fairly ignorant to the issue until recent…I attended the voter forum and I saw how the issue of the fencing had become sensationalized and politicized…also, I had the opportunity to talk to one of the candidates with the platform of no fencing and it was my take that they opposed the fences primarily because of aesthetics and the fact that the proposed fencing would be so intrusive for the abutters…this candidate really gave no good answers to my questions…so, that is my long answer why I am coming out now.
My take on the issue is we need to have the experts weigh in and if they say the fencing plan that is now being discussed (my understanding is the current plan is a compromise by the board after listening to concerns of Chesterbrook residents) is their recommendation, then I want school board members to vote for the fencing.
Side note: I think many teachers have been conditioned to not engage in the politics of this community, so I think that is why many teachers don’t speak up and/or go along with the person asking the questions.
Wow. I truly hope you are not an English teacher…
