Shortly after, on May 12 came the Student Forum with Dr. Ronald Ferguson. The final two achievement gap forums ...

Nancy's Cambridge Schools Blog. A blog about public school policy, practice and participation. Sunday, November 11, 2007. Congratulations to Nancy T. Thanks to everyone who went to the polls on Tuesday. It was a lousy weather day, and I spent most of it wet, campaigning for the Progress for Cambridge slate. Happily, one member of the three PFC candidates won a seat on the Cambridge School Committee. Nancy Tauber. That's what happened on Tuesday.
