BOE Pres Addresses District Performance, State Legislation in September Report

Manchester's school district has been deemed "high performing," Board of Education President Donald Webster announced in his report for September. 

After a review by the state Department of Education Quality Single Accountability Continuum last spring, Manchester received the determination that it is "in compliance with all the performance standards and regulations established" by the agency, Webster writes on his blog featured on the district's website. 

Webster also addresses state legislation news, including the governor's report of his Education Reform Task Force which includes hundreds of regulations to reduce or revise regulation and state education laws. 

"It seems to me to be ironic that the task force is now proposing more local flexibility and control and the reduction of burdensome regulations when over the last several years all we have seen out of Trenton is the erosion of local flexibility and control and the addition of many burdensome and unfunded mandates," Webster writes. 

Webster's full report, as well as those from months past, can be found on the district's website.
