Attending the most recent SAU 9 meeting was another eye-opening endeavor.
Whenever the topic is curriculum, it is imperative to attend the meeting and learn about how the taxpayers' money is being spent and how those expenditures will reach the desired outcomes. These curriculum reviews happen at SAU 9 annually. This meeting was important as the administration is fighting tooth and nail to save the half teaching days to indoctrinate the staff into the cookie cutter programs that the taxpayers fund.
