The Newburgh Enlarged Central School District often does an inadequate job of informing parents about district events and meetings. For instance, there is to be a Compact Central Committee meeting on Monday, September 10, 2007 at Vails Gate School at 7pm. This event is not listed on the district home page under "District-Wide Events". Nor will you find information about it by following the "Committees/Groups" and "Compact Committee" links. All of the schedule information on the Compact Committee page is from last year.

The meeting may be informative. The Superintendant of Schools is expected to attend, and the Curriculum and Instruction Division is expected to talk about Curriculum Maps and Benchmarks.

Not sure what the Compact Central Committee is? This document: District's Plan for Implementing C.R. 100.11 may help or it may not. In any event, the meeting should be a good opportunity to hear from the Superintendent, and to hear something about the administration's thinking about teaching.
