The regular meeting of the Board of Education will be held this Thursday, October 8, 2009, 6:30 PM, at Hillside Middle School.  Regular meetings include a public comment portion of the agenda.  Given the current situation we are all facing, I am sure many people have much to say.

I do not know nor have any control over the Board’s policy with regard to allowing students to speak, but I would strongly encourage allowing high school students the opportunity to voice their opinions and concerns to the Board.  I have spoke with several bright, articulate and caring students over the past few weeks who wish to be heard.  It is their future that our decisions will effect.  The decisions that we make now will have considerable impact on whether or not our students one day decide to raise their families and educate their children here in Naugatuck.   We should do the right thing and allow them a say in their government.
