Last night's regular Board of Education meeting began with a farewell from BOE Chairman Gene Nocera and Superintendent Pat Charles to Ryan Kennedy and former BOE Chairman Ted Raczka. Kennedy, who was appointed in 2008 to fill a vacancy and then re-elected on his own, is leaving the Board to run for a position on City Council. Raczka was elected to the board in 2005, served as Vice-Chairman starting in 2005, and then was BOE Chairman from 2009-2011. Most recently, Raczka was the Budget Committee Chairman. "We wish him [Ted Raczka] the best in his future, in his law practice, and we thank him for everything he's done," Nocera told the Board.
The next Board of Education meeting is scheduled for November 19th to accommodate the election and swearing in of new town officials. A newly formed BOE will meet that date and decide on committee assignments and leadership positions.

New Changes for the 2013-14 School Year
School starts on Thursday, August 29th, and several changes are underway for the 2013-14 school year. The most obvious change is the new start time (8:50 am) for the elementary schools. School doors will open at 8:45 am and students arriving after 8:55 am will be marked tardy.
Breakfast in the Classroom is another new program aimed at providing every student the opportunity for a healthy breakfast each morning. Students will pick up their breakfast as they enter the classroom and eat it as the academic day begins. Students qualifying for free or reduced lunch will also qualify for reduced fee or no fee breakfast. A reduced fee breakfast will cost $.30 and a full priced breakfast will cost $1.00. Macdonough, Bielefield, Wesley, Lawrence, and Farm Hill Schools will start the program on September 3rd. Moody and Snow Schools will start November 4th, and Spencer School will start in January 2014.
Read Superintendent Charles' August 6th letter to Middletown families here for a complete explanation.
If you haven't read Middletown's Safe School Climate Plan (approved by the BOE on April 17, 2012), you can access that here.
Finally, if you have questions about the Common Core State Standards Initiative, specific information by grade level is available here.
