BOE Presentation at BOF 4/7/09
Just a short commentary to follow up the new article above. Mrs. Paul specifically stated to the BOF on the video that Woodstock teachers are paid lower than Pomfret & Eastford as well as below average for the DRG. All of these statements are false. (See new article for the numbers).

I really enjoyed watching this clip of the BOE meeting. I especially enjoyed Lindsay Paul's reference to Senior citizens,"I didn't ask the teachers to request turning down there raises or the union.The senior citizens after all didn't refuse theirs" So maybe we should in all fairness just offer the teachers a $5.00 a month raise like the seniors got. What do they teach the town's children? Do they teach them to run past Seniors and kick their canes out from under them? Nice going Lindsay, what's next?
To the BOE Chairman:
Just a few suggestions:
1. Hire a fact checker.
2. If you plan to lie take good notes.
3. Never speak without referring to notes (see above).
4. Drop the use of "ah"
5. Consistency of lies or facts is useful.
