It's About Oshkosh Students: September 2010
http://oshkoshstudents.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
It's About Oshkosh Students. Thursday, September 9, 2010. Well I said I was done blogging about the school district and now as is a woman's prerogative, I've changed my mind. I must admit, I've become increasing cynical about this district and where it is headed. The last few weeks however I have seen some rays of hope. I was also reserving judgement on whether the hiring of Dr. Viegut as superintendent was the right decision for the district. Posted by Teresa Thiel. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

It's About Oshkosh Students: January 2009
http://oshkoshstudents.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
It's About Oshkosh Students. Sunday, January 25, 2009. Cost of the Referendum. There is a story. In the Sunday, January 25, 2008 Northwestern that states that the total cost of the referendum, in year one, if all 3 questions pass would be about $52 on a $100,000 home. As I suspected, less than one month of cable television or two months of the dish and a whole lot less than the new ipod touch. Now if you have questions about specifics of the referendum or comments about the capital improvement priorities...

It's About Oshkosh Students: LAST POST
http://oshkoshstudents.blogspot.com/2010/02/last-post.html
It's About Oshkosh Students. Thursday, February 11, 2010. Last night's board meeting was the last straw for me. After listening to incredibly eloquent students explain to the board what this will mean to them, with very little discussion the board unanimously dismissed the students' concerns and voted to cut 35 teachers. If each teacher teaches 5 classes that is potentially 175 fewer classes between the 2 high schools. Posted by Teresa Thiel. Friday, February 12, 2010 at 6:30:00 AM CST. These issues star...

It's About Oshkosh Students. Sunday, March 30, 2008. The Northwestern's Endorsement got it Exactly RIGHT. The other poster asked for a thread about the School board election, and as you can see from the Title of this thread, I will post on that one. As the title of this thread implies, The Northwestern's Endorsement. Captures my feelings exactly. None It is so easy to point the finger and vote "no" repeatedly but where was the leadership from the chair pointing out the need to fix our buildings? Her stan...

It's About Oshkosh Students: WHAT SHOULD THE BOARD DO NOW?
http://oshkoshstudents.blogspot.com/2009/12/what-should-board-do-now.html
It's About Oshkosh Students. Tuesday, December 1, 2009. WHAT SHOULD THE BOARD DO NOW? Well I find myself without an opinion, which is very rare for me. Turns out due to the date of the resignation, the open seat will be on the April 2010 ballot. so should the board appoint someone to serve until April, or should the seat remain vacant and be filled with the #3 vote getter in the April election? I can see pluses and minuses to both options. Any thoughts out there? Posted by Teresa Thiel. I am also running...

It's About Oshkosh Students: October 2010
http://oshkoshstudents.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
It's About Oshkosh Students. Wednesday, October 13, 2010. WOW, my frustration level with so many of the comments at the board meeting tonight is extreme. Ill informed speakers, board members who do not listen, understand or even know their role! A full 3 people spoke at the budget forum.lots of words, not a lot of sense. Where exactly were the people who spoke at those budget hearings in January asking the board to raise taxes to keep schools open, fix our buildings and not cut programs?

http://oshkoshstudents.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
It's About Oshkosh Students. Wednesday, September 24, 2008. At the September 24 Oshkosh School Board Meeting the referendum questions were discussed. The VERY short story is the interim superintendent recommended a 3 question referendum with the questions looking something like the following - dollar amounts are NOT set in stone, just a place to start discussions:. Question 1: New Oaklawn/Sunset. On Ryf Road $15,000,000 (approx. amount based on Feb. 2008 figures). A/C $ 275,000. Roof $ 225,640. One thing...

It's About Oshkosh Students. Friday, May 16, 2008. STATE FUNDING FOR SCHOOLS. What about that 2/3 funding? School District Web Site:. The major issue facing schools currently is the revenue cap that limits the amount of money that a Wisconsin school district can spend - based on a formula that does not take into account the actual increased costs that occur each year. The more the state funds K-12 education, the less that property tax payers in a district have to pay. Salary and benefits are 86% of our b...
