Hebron Dollars & Sense

This just in.....from the Norwich Bulletin


Hebron, Conn. — The Hebron Board of Education will discuss using money saved from not hiring an interim special education director to purchase Smart Boards for third graders at Hebron Elementary School, according to School Superintendent Eleanor Cruz.

In June, the Board of Education decided to use about $31,500 that was left over in the 2010-11 budget to purchase 22 Smart Boards for the school. Purchasing nine Smart Boards and six Smart Tables were approved as part of the 2011-12 budget.

Cruz, who is acting as the director until someone is hired, said the savings will be between $17,000 and $20,000. Former special education director Lisa Wheeler left Hebron in July to become the director of special services at the Norwich Free Academy.

Cruz said a hiring committee will start interviewing candidates for the position Friday.

The school board meeting will be at 7 p.m. tonight at Gilead Hill School.

Just ask around, You'll sea

oh what a crock of shit. enough already.

The special ed director's position needs to be filled - and not by the supt. Mrs. Cruz may be familiar with some of the issues in special ed (which was her background before becoming a first time supt here in Hebron, she is exposing the town to potential costs and/or litigation by not filling this position timely.

The Board of Ed rarely realizes that they should wait until the dust settles first, before spending what might be needed for something else. Glad they postponed the discussion of further spending until September - thanks to Kathy Shea.


Will tonight's special meeting, and executive session, be a hiring meeting, or is it something else?
