(Hour 1a,b,c) Manchester Superintendent Dr. Debra Livingston joined us for an entire hour to answer questions on the rules-making process, the public comment and, of course, Common Core curriculum guidelines and implementing them “two years behind schedule.”
Superintendent Dr. Livingston on Common Core
A very interesting interview. I have more questions than answers after listening to the Superintendent beat around the bush, but with only three minutes to speak tonight, I fear those questions will go unanswered. As a matter of fact, I think the public was hoping for a discussion with the School Board and Administration about the Common Core standards. That would involve more of a listening tour of the type Mayor Gatsas and the Board went on a few summers ago. Tonight there will not be a discussion, just a public forum. Discussions require listening and as we heard from Board member Bergeron, I am not sure if any of the School Board members are interested in listening anymore.
