Best thing LB School District ever did was hiring Dr. Passi. Anyone with inside knowledge of the…Read More school district knows how political the environment is (just attend a Board meeting) and how the union leadership tries to exercise vice grip control on the Board. We will miss you Dr. Passi. BBP is lucky to have you.

OUR RESPONSIBILITY??? I do not want you raising my kids with your liberal agenda and my pocket book…Read More in your hands and I do not want to raise your children! You ruin your children and I will raise mine....

What a great show! Both of my daughters were in it and I have never seen a more talented cast. The…Read More cast put their heart and soul into his show and you could just feel the energy. I facebooked the show and several families took their kids to see it and they all loved it.

I have said before with such a low turnout and a high percentage of district workers residing in the…Read More district, whatever candidates the employees of the district want elected will be those chosen.
Eddie, Have you seen this program and I wonder if LB has been using it http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/vet_out_the_vote_g4O9ka3AT5o4gJ2hPdnvTK

Lucy, for once, I agree with (mostly) everything you just said. No one should be destroying,…Read More defacing or disfiguring property that doesn't belong to them and if someone is found doing that, they should make restitution and be punished to whatever extent the rules allow for the offense. My point is that school discipline is a non-newsworthy subject matter and should simply be handled without this ridiculous and absurd fanfare.

I nominate my son's teacher Carole Gordon (circa 1973-1976), a 5th, 6th grade teacher working at…Read More Lindell School. She moved to Rockville Centre in 1976 and left Long Beach School System sometime in the 70s or 80s. Carole Gordon was a great teacher and had a great influence on my son's future and successful career. Another great Long Beach school person, was Ms. Fleishman, the former Librarian at Lindell School circa 1973-1976.

Thank you for recognizing our hard working children. My daughter is in this production. All the…Read More kids, pit orchestra, stage and lighting staff, have been rehearsing daily, missing classes, staying up late making up the work they are missing and showcasing an amazing performance. I trust those who bash the arts on this site are staying home with their lonely selves. I hope you enjoyed their production. Thank you

In short, being a "good student" these days is simply not enough to get you into the…Read More college you may want to attend.
The College Whisperer™ April 19, 2013 at 10:32 am
Paying for college is, indeed, a critical issue. But getting in, particularly when demographics…Read More works against you (colleges can't take every student from LI, which students generally apply to the very same schools), compounded by an environment that, by reason of sheer numbers, has become increasingly selective.
Cosmo April 19, 2013 at 08:46 am
If you are a good student getting into a good college won't be the problem, affording it will.

John and Paul, accurate, focused, thoughtful... thank you.

just as there are some lots being subdivided, there is at least one case of two lots being combined…Read More to create a monster house in the WE. And regarding 30 foot tall houses... we have to get used to it because with the new FEMA guidelines, that's what many people will be doing in order to have both a tall foundation AND the room they want... otherwise the flood insurance will be astronomical. And if you have a mortgage, you are forced to have flood insurance in most cases.

@Barrry, there isn't anything being scooped up for 70-80 grand in the WE. Take a look at sold…Read More properties on MLS and you will see that gutted. "as is" WE homes are selling for around $200K. There may have been some desperate people who unloaded homes quickly after the storm but that isn't the case anymore. The WE will soon also take on a whole new charector as all these new houses are getting built and I am sure the usual suspects will be involved especialy when it comes to sub-dividing any double lots and granting variances.

Probably yes, depending on your personal situation, because this time the bad guys have all the…Read More bullets. In today's world that would be money, influence and the ability to bend the city leaders to it's liking. It's disgusting but very real. And it is not only here unfortunately, it's everywhere, so know where you're running to if that is your choice. I admire your spirit Ms. Wright and wish you Good Luck ...

Just courious, Norman.... what "out of the district" students are you referring too?
Me April 11, 2013 at 01:02 pm
@MikeC: Nobody in New Orleans itself were required to raise their homes as they are protected…Read More (sometimes) by the levee system. The state can use the HMGP money as part of an overall flood protection program instead of giving to the individual homeowners. Which is what they did and poured money into the levee system. In the outlying areas that are not protected by Levees they did give money to people to raise their homes. I can’t say it was mandated I think the mandated requirements came post Katrina and were really given teeth with the 2012 changes to law that eliminated any grandfathered/subsidized rates for houses that were not raised after being found substantially damaged.

after all is said and done...long beach residents will have achieved poor credit ratings....and this…Read More city will be a ghost town...and our beach...with no boardwalk, just about everyone from anywhere will come to visit (free) just walk right onto the beach....and treat it like garbage...

The dirty little secret is this.
Most of the students come from Hempstead and Far Rockaway on…Read More these buses.
The truth is most are NOT displaced but were residents there BEFORE the storm.
Now they are getting free rides to school instead of being dropped off by the caravan of cars that stop in front of the schools with Queens and Hemstead stickers on them.
Like the true leeches they are, they saw right away that they could get on these buses for free rides.
I hope the police take note that these people are stealing MILLIONS is education dollars from us.
Eddie April 9, 2013 at 08:05 am
The School Board should have applied for a FEMA grant to be reimbursed for this money. Just as the…Read More City should have applied to FEMA to reimburse the City taxpayers for the lost tax revenues that will be caused by the storm. Let me guess -- the School Board hasn't done that either?
Warren Vogel April 7, 2013 at 10:19 pm
Do what my idiot cousin Joe did.
He is one of the dumbest people on the planet yet he had the…Read More college admissions process down cold.
He changed his name to Malik Shabazz had his mail sent to 1455 Martin Luther King Blvd.
He was admitted to Harvard.
When he showed up not one of the gold plated phonies that run the school had the nerve ask any questions.
He slept through the 4 years and got straight 4.00 index.
Try it. It may work twice.

If his one big cost saving idea is to "digitize" report cards, we are in for some serious…Read More issues. I would have been more impressed if he had some real ideas, like closing atleast 1 school in the district, scrapping the $15,000,000 stadium that could not be afforded before the storm, let alone after the storm. Mr Adler's report card idea is right up there with Jack's christmas tree dunes, if that is stronger and smarter, we better run for higher ground....
Our children are what matters!!! April 2, 2013 at 12:03 pm
There are some people making comments that need to move FAR away from LB... You seem to be so…Read More unhappy w paying ur taxes so why don't u leave!!! You are so unconcerned about our community and our children's education .... Get the out!!! We don't want or need you here!!
Warren Vogel April 2, 2013 at 08:17 am
The simple math is this. Whomever wants to legally vote is entitled to do so.
Most school related…Read More voters do so. Most others do not. The non-voters get the shaft because they deserve to get the shaft.
