Mrs. Lazzaro was a terrific CCD Teacher. I had her several years and she had such a wonderful way with all of us kids. We were all her "Little Angels". May she rest in peace. ~Mary Kay Raymond

Actually we have many kids doing full day programs to eliminate travel time during class time and has been great. Essex and St. Albans Tech programs are not a savings in distance. Burlington would be, but going to Enosburg for some tech classes is no different than going to Burlington.
Also the whole point of the School Board wanting to pull our kids is saving money. So now we could have many kids going to Essex and Burlington still and now besides the couple that go to NWTC for Fire program, we would have trips to St. Albans and I hear some would go to Enosburg for certain tech programs. So on top of this, having half day programs back to Fairfax now means teachers/suppport staff needed to cover the half day core classes.
The savings gets eaten up and I feel our current Tech Programs are the best option based on reasons I have previously mentioned.

I am sure you are very nice and people you work with SuzE. This is certainly not a personal attack of any kind.
When you compare the schools rankings, and also the number of program opportunities in Essex/Burlington compared to St. Albans is quite a difference. I see that as a step down.

What bothers me is that the School Board can just pull our kids out of Essex and Burlington Tech programs that we have been going to since the 1970's without a vote from the town....
We have to vote for a new school bus to be bought but we do not get any say on changing our children's education programs.
I also have heard mixed issues with Maple Run and the 1/2 day Tech program. I am also thinking that having a Maple Run Employee on this committee is a conflict of interest.
Part of the savings is taking them to a shorter program.. I also want to know how many teachers/support would be needed to be hired back at BFA Fairfax to compensate for the kids being brought back for half days in Fairfax.
Finally I do not want to see our children being pulled from excellent programs and schools to go what appears to be a step down for our children's education.
I know of "Tech Kids" from all decades. Many of us still use what we learned to this very day. Many of my friends went to work right out of of high school because of Tech and I have heard from friends that their kids are also still having the same experience.
I would like to know what types of experiences the committee has had with tech programs? Have they or their children been a part of Essex or Burlington Tech?
It was asked last meeting to look into merging with Essex. I am completely in favor of this and would love to see our kids be given MORE opportunities while trying to save money vs Maple Run.
