The Old Saybrook Democratic Town Committee stands with the parents and the Old Saybrook community to call for reform in our schools. Aligned with our democratic values of transparency and accountability, we are calling on the Superintendent and the Board of Education to take action now.
- Provide clear updates on Dr. Gabriel’s recommendations with specific steps, timelines, expected outcomes, and progress.
- Improve the public comment portion of BoE meetings to ensure guests feel heard and respected.
- Initiate community outreach through a series of special forums on topics like the budget, the strategic plan, and key policy changes.
- Commit to a timeline to review progress on and update the strategic plan through a community-centered process.
- Increase transparency by publishing the curriculum, test scores, and monthly budget updates,
We believe these changes will help to move our community forward and advance the excellent education we all want for our children.
