Remember a year ago when I met with Dr. Wardynski and asked him if the district would be ready to meet IEPs on the first day of school? Remember when his response to that question was, “I don’t know.” Of course, this was back when Dr. Wardynski was still new and concerned about actually answering questions from the public.

Once Again The District Isn’t P...
Remember a year ago when I met with Dr. Wardynski and asked him if the district would be ready to meet IEPs on the first day of school?

Thank You Dr. Wardynski
Yeah, I know. I’m sure few of my regular readers never expected to see a title like that on this blog.
I’m sure it will come as an even bigger surprise to some working in the central office and those on the board. In fact, at the State of the Schools address recently, one board member jokingly asked if it was safe to sit between m [...]
Lessons From A Big Sister
Ed. Note: This first appeared on RocketCityMom. If you’re not following them, you should be.
You know that feeling you get when you kid hits a home run, or makes an A on a really hard test, or is simply kind to someone without having to be reminded to be so?
That’s a feeling that I have nearly every day, and yes, I know how lucky I am. [...]

With the new plan in Huntsville City Schools to put iPads into the elementary schools, hopefully some of these will be available to children with special needs as well.

A Good Night at Challenger Elementary
I know that there are many who are waiting to hear more about some of the decisions made this past Thursday night. (The hiring of yet another person from Aurora, CO as Deputy Superintendent is just one. It’s a good time to have friends in high places.) There were a ton of them; I’m working through them right now.
But I’ve b [...]
Through a Mirror Darkly
Fair warning: This is a self-indulgent and selfish posting. There’s nothing unique here; every parent feels this way. Feel free to ignore.
Another Sunday, another early departure from Church for me and the boy.
I know that no one really understands anyone, but I wish I knew what upsets him so. What causes him to cry out, almost in pain, [...]
“A Statement of Priorities̶...
On Thursday, September 1, Dr. Casey Wardynski and the board held the first of two Budget Hearings for the Huntsville City Schools proposed 2012 budget. (The second and final one will be tonight at 5:30 after a brief called board meeting.)
During this meeting, he stated to the public and the board that “the budget, again, is a statement [...]
