Board of Ed: Imagine if we as homeowners maintained our properties in the manner in which you…Read More maintain our school district properties, it would bring down the property values in our entire community. I've been asking myself, why then do we accept this from our school district? We are charged an exorbitant amount of school taxes by you, yet we continue to accept mediocrity from you on so many levels. The kids and the community must come first, we've paid long enough. It's time to give back to the taxpayer and I DON'T mean in the way of an appropriated fund balance. Give back the funds you've already collected from us by upgrading the fields, it needs to be done, it's time!

Dear Board of Education;
You are only doing an analysis to our fields NOW that a Superintendent is…Read More starting on July 1st? And you admit these concerns have been coming up at many of your prior meetings! You should be ashamed of yourselves. This like telling a student to study the night before the SAT's and letting them skip 9th, 10th and 11th grade. You have not educated yourselves on the topic of safe fields, cared enough to tour the fields, or have kept our schools as competitive as our neighbors. Your letter is embarrassing! GIVE US ANSWERS at the next meeting! We can only hope that the new Superintendent has vision for our future student-athletes and that Board members who have vision for the future will come forward and speak out and make changes.

Our children are taught about stranger danger. The child did the right thing. Not all contacts…Read More will involve kidnapping, but molestation is a lot more common. And years ago when I was growing up, no one warned us. If you have to be so politically correct so as not to give a description of someone, then our children & society will be in real danger.

Who in god's name would go to a supermarket when we have Peapod??
Supermarket's are out in the…Read More dangerous real world, it's so much easier to just have someone deliver my groceries to my nice cozy south merrick home, and have my live-in maid put them away for me

So the Insanity continues! They were shells!!! and they called police! There are things that go…Read More on in the schools, like the mistreatment of the kids, who calls the cops then????
Unreal!

They were only shells. Stop the insanity. The police were called? Really?

ANOTHER LOCKDOWN because of dogs?! Isnt this a little EXTREME?! We are becoming hostages of our…Read More fears!
Why do we not lockdown the schools and report the SERIOUS problems that go on IN the schools..

This scenario is occurring with frightening frequency in many of our districts here on L.I. So much…Read More so that we at Team Dawg have authored one of our children's books on this situation in hopes of helping to teach our children what to do in a case such as this. Thankfully the vast majority of these cases end without incident and the follow through by authorities has been great. As stated above, please take a moment to speak to your children about how to keep safe.

Any of these students get a license plate number. It would be easier for police to track down this…Read More individual .

A male???? Really? That narrows it down to a couple of billion people. Don't you think you should…Read More give a real description.

A friend's daughter a month ago experienced the same interaction in Bellmore. Who ever this person…Read More is, is targeting children in this age group and is familiar with the area. Please be careful.

This scenario is what prompted team Dawg to publish one of it's children's books on what to do in…Read More such a circumstance. We have distributed our book in many districts as this seems to happen far too often, this year more than ever. Thankfully the children acted appropriately but it does serve as a reminder that it is never a bad idea to remind our children on how to act to keep themselves safe.

Safe practices SHOULD be enforced....... but hysterically drawing the wrong conclusions (with the…Read More evidence above) is also a problem to our community.

In this day and age of liberal protection for criminals, why would ANY parent allow their kid OF ANY…Read More AGE to walk alone anywhere/anytime? Maybe the ACLU can assign a chaperone to each of the sex offenders they say deserve to rejoin & assimilate back into society.

See.....Take away our guns and only criminals will have them.
