Unfortuneately, this website was hit hard with automated postings for medicines, porn and stock offerings - the same knd of things that comes in as SPAM into email boxes. We just couldn't keep up with deleting the junk so we had to remove the ability for visitors to post comments.

Alex Rittberg opened with a few PTA annoucements.
The PTA had given Waggie dog biscuits to all the principals who have dogs. Waggies are natural dog biscuits made by a small startup in Wilmington run by young adults with cognitive disabilities. More details on www.waggies.org. Principals without dogs were given gourmet jelly beans.
Alex asked how people heard about the meeting - BSNPTA email, PIC email, Flyers via US Postal service, word of mouth.
Dr Tynan gave two presentations and gave out one handout.

Work problems, getting married, going away to school, an illness — any number of life changes can cause stress. Most of the time, people adjust to such changes within a few months. But if you continue to feel stressed, hopeless, worried or even reckless, you may have an adjustment disorder.
It's the fifth anniversary of No Child Left Behind and we can consider the law a success despite serious flaws.
The federal education law is based on a yearly benchmark test that can't possibly measure real learning for all students accurately. The law is full of underfunded and onerous mandates. The achievement targets are unobtainable and the accountability component has too many problems to even list here.
