anxiety-ridden task for many individuals. The sheer size
of the expenditure involved and the myriad of choices on the market
make the need for education and information quite critical.

Fortunately, the tips below can make the process far simpler
than you may have believed.

Mark were you on the video clip warning Chicago of Brizard… i just watched it as I was researching Michele Hancock. She is our Superintendent and although she was involved in the Marilyn Patterson Grant Civil suit against Brizard I believe she has similar intentions in our district that Brizard did in Rochester. Anti union anti teacher closing schools, she has a Transformation Plan for our district that has certainly transformed our schools this year!! search “Kenosha Parents for Change” on Facebook to see all the ill affects. Our district was not in need of change… She brought with her consultants from Rochester, Sonia James Wilson and Grant and is pushing money spent on Diversity training while laying off hundreds of teachers and class sizes are huge. Enacting multiage classrooms in our grade schools and dropping our honors only classes and replacing them w mixed ability classrooms where the teacher is to differentiate to the wide range in ability levels including those who want to do a honor distinction once a month project. So our schools are getting a watered down education at best! No more honors only classes in middle school. They are not “EQUITABLE” because they don’t represent a diverse enough population of students in them I guess??? Help Kenosha, WI! Can’t some other city offer Michele Hancock a job so she will leave our district as J.C. Brizard did!?
