William J. Stark Superintendent of Schools

Dear Members of the Blind Brook Community,

At the September 19, 2011 meeting of the Board of Education I presented the District’s goals for the 2011-2012 school year.  A copy of that presentation in both PowerPoint and streaming video is on the website.  The goals of the District are posted online as well. 

As the school year begins it is important to remember that successful educational programs rely upon a series of supports.  Parents, faculty, administrators, the Board of Education and the greater community are pillars that are critical in achieving the very best education for children.  Blind Brook is fortunate that each of those constituencies has played an active role in ensuring that goal. 

What is also important is the recognition that there are no magic formulas to success in education.  Instead, there must be a realization that achievement of a high quality educational program requires long term commitment.

As Superintendent of this District, I am constantly seeking input from the community on how best to improve an already excellent school system, balancing wants with needs in an uncertain economy.  As part of that process last year I began a series of Community Conversations, held in the evening, to gather as well as disseminate information about the District to the larger community. This year I am modifying that program to alternate meetings between evening and morning.

Please join me for one of these conversations.

Sincerely,

William J. Stark
Superintendent of Schools
