New Narragansett Regional School District plan keeps kids in their local schools

TEMPLETON — The plan was driven by the numbers, and it was the numbers that undid the plan.
The reconfiguration designed to make the Narragansett Regional School District fiscal 2020 budget work relied on savings and consolidation. And the numbers were still not quite working, needing more money from Templeton.

Parents were very vocal in opposition to the earlier plan to educate grades 1 to 5 from the two towns in the new Templeton Center Elementary School. Pre-K and kindergarten would go to the Phillipston Memorial Elementary School. Parents pressed their town officials for help to keep their kids in their local schools.

“I completely respect their passion to stand up for what’s right,” Superintendent of Schools Christopher Casavant said. But it was his job to craft a solution within the budget and ultimately the School Committee had approved the plan.

But it was the numbers that once again came into play to drive a new plan, approved on June 26 by the School Committee.

“The School Committee did a lot of reflecting on this,” Casavant said, adding the board had changed its decision based on information.

The plan now is that Templeton Center will be home to Templeton students from grades 1 to 5 as well as pre-K and kindergarten from both towns, while Phillipston will be home to that community’ students, with School Choice students being largely shifted to Phillipston in order to balance classroom sizes. Templeton classes will be reduced one teacher in each grade as a result of the staff reductions that lowered the budget.

“I’m not a gambler,” Casavant said. “But if I have to gamble, I will gamble on the staff. They’re going to get a really good education. That’s our strength.”

State funding change

The concern is that the new plan would leave empty classrooms at Templeton Center. That drew the attention of the Massachusetts School Building Authority, Casavant said.

Although the agency was not explicit, he said, the message was clear: Templeton could find itself paying more for the school if the state agency adjusts the reimbursement it will pay toward the schools costs, since empty rooms were not in the plan. With the teacher reductions, six classrooms were projected to go unused in the new school, a figure now lowered to four.

That extra cost could impact Templeton taxpayers, who had rejected an override to fund the schools.
Casavant said he was asked to put together a plan based on the new information, which had been a potential concern even as the earlier plan was being crafted, he said.

“This has been hard for both communities,” which Casavant said are “full of good people who want what’s best for the kids.”

Although the state financing may have driven the new decision, “the people from Phillipston advocated strongly for what they believe,” Casavant said, and both communities have “what you expect from caring communities.”

Regardless of the solution, “These issues are emotionally charged,” he said.

Templeton plans

Meanwhile, Templeton selectmen are working to have a plan in place to reduce town costs if the schools do not present a lower budget at a planned July 18 special Town Meeting.

Templeton selectmen have not indicated a desire for another override after the substantial defeat; Chairman Michael Currie stressed that there have been only two overrides in recent years, in 2018 and 2013.

Phillipston is not in such dire shape in regard to the schools, having also approved an override for that town’s portion of the school budget this year.

If the school budget is not approved, however, the two towns could potentially end up in a districtwide vote on the budget. If the school budget passes at a higher level than the town finances can currently support, Templeton could be in for substantial cuts to the town operating budget.
A significant student impact will still be felt, however. Since the school budget will be lowered by reducing five teachers, larger classroom sizes will result.

Balancing the numbers between the schools may satisfy residents with children in the schools. But School Choice students may be primarily shifted to the Phillipston school to balance numbers, Casavant said.

He said he is aware of the impact of that piece of the plan and is working with teachers to understand the social aspect of the students to minimize disruption that School Choice students may feel if they are shifted into unfamiliar classrooms.

That has some parents of School Choice students concerned about the impact and suggesting they may remove students from the school. That could impact the budget since School Choice students bring funds to the district.

There will be “thoughtful reflection of where kids are physically going,” Casavant said of School Choice students.

Not at issue, Casavant said, is the quality of the education students are getting. And that is one of the draws bringing School Choice students to the schools.

“When this is all over,” Casavant said, “we need to fix some wagons,” referring to relationships in the towns, but adding that people in both towns care about the students. “We do need to come together.”

 

 

Did you know...

Phillipston was once named Gerry?

 After Elbridge Gerry

"In response, the Federalists heaped ridicule on Gerry and coined the pun "gerrymander" to describe the salamander-like shape of one of the redistricted areas."

From the Town of Phillipston  website:

Welcome to Phillipston

Thank you for your interest in our town and for visiting our website.

Phillipston is a small, rural community nestled in Worcester County. Our town was first settled in 1751, and incorporated as the town of Gerry in 1786. The town's name was changed from Gerry to Phillipston in 1814, after Lieutenant Governor William Phillips, Jr.

There is so much for a nature lover to do in Phillipston – from hiking to picking apples and camping and even boating and fishing on beautiful Queen Lake. Please take some time to browse through our website and enjoy all we have to offer. If you have any questions please click “submit a suggestion or question” on the left side of our homepage.

A Biography of Elbridge Gerry 1744-1814

Gerry was born in 1744 at Marblehead, MA, the third of 12 children. His mother was the daughter of a Boston merchant; his father, a wealthy and politically active merchant-shipper who had once been a sea captain. Upon graduating from Harvard in 1762, Gerry joined his father and two brothers in the family business, exporting dried codfish to Barbados and Spain. He entered the colonial legislature (1772-74), where he came under the influence of Samuel Adams, and took part in the Marblehead and Massachusetts committees of correspondence. When Parliament closed Boston harbor in June 1774, Marblehead became a major port of entry for supplies donated by patriots throughout the colonies to relieve Bostonians, and Gerry helped transport the goods.

Between 1774 and 1776 Gerry attended the first and second provincial congresses. He served with Samuel Adams and John Hancock on the council of safety and, as chairman of the committee of supply (a job for which his merchant background ideally suited him) wherein he raised troops and dealt with military logistics. On the night of April 18, 1775, Gerry attended a meeting of the council of safety at an inn in Menotomy (Arlington), between Cambridge and Lexington, and barely escaped the British troops marching on Lexington and Concord.

In 1776 Gerry entered the Continental Congress, where his congressional specialities were military and financial matters. In Congress and throughout his career his actions often appeared contradictory. He earned the nickname "soldiers' friend" for his advocacy of better pay and equipment, yet he vacillated on the issue of pensions. Despite his disapproval of standing armies, he recommended long-term enlistments.

Until 1779 Gerry sat on and sometimes presided over the congressional board that regulated Continental finances. After a quarrel over the price schedule for suppliers, Gerry, himself a supplier, walked out of Congress. Although nominally a member, he did not reappear for 3 years. During the interim, he engaged in trade and privateering and served in the lower house of the Massachusetts legislature.

As a representative in Congress in the years 1783-85, Gerry numbered among those who had possessed talent as Revolutionary agitators and wartime leaders but who could not effectually cope with the painstaking task of stabilizing the national government. He was experienced and conscientious but created many enemies with his lack of humor, suspicion of the motives of others, and obsessive fear of political and military tyranny. In 1786, the year after leaving Congress, he retired from business, married Ann Thompson, and took a seat in the state legislature.

Templeton sets special Town Meeting for July 18 to vote new school budget

By Ken Cleveland / Correspondent

TEMPLETON — Templeton is working on a special Town Meeting on July 18 to tackle the fiscal 2020 Narragansett Regional School District budget and prepare for the impact on the town’s operating budget.

Meanwhile, the district is working on the reconfiguration of the Phillipston and Templeton elementary school classrooms, undoing a plan to make the new Templeton school the primary elementary school for both towns.

A possible impact of the reconfiguration that was previously approved by the School Committee is that Templeton could lose some of the state reimbursement portion that was going toward the cost of the new Templeton Center Elementary School building.

That has selectmen concerned, prompting a board vote to request Town Administrator Carter Terenzini to request past communications between the Narragansett district and the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) and future communications about the potential reduced reimbursement.

The MSBA awards reimbursement based on its approval of the school plan, and changing that, especially if it results in different uses or unused classrooms, could trigger a change in reimbursement.

That concerns Templeton selectmen, who see a potential impact for taxpayers who recently turned down an override to fund the school operating budget.

Selectmen also approved two articles for the planned July 18 special Town Meeting warrant with two articles.

The first would be to ask voters to pass the School Committee-approved budget, which sets the figure at $6.9 million, down about a half-million dollars from the amount that was needed from the failed override.

A second article would give selectmen authority to cut the town budget to bring the total down to compensate for the town’s target of $6.5 million for the schools.

*************************************

Hmmm. Hasn't the reimbursement from MSBA for the elementary school already been made? Most of it? How will that effect the amount of $$$ Templeton taxpayers are on the hook for the new elementary school?

If the Phillipston elementary students use the space at the high school, where some of the Templeton elementary school students have been located, that should have no impact on the MSBA reimbursement rate because the NRSD owns and operates the high school/middle school complex.

The second article to give authority to the selectmen to cut the budget is really gonna need a lot more explanation and detail.

Risks to Children from Water Fluoridation—One Dose Does Not Fit All

 By Amanda Just, MS, and David Kennedy, DDS,  from CHD’s Partner: International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT)
 
Fluoridation is the addition of an industrial compound to the public drinking water for the purpose of altering the consumer’s oral health. Municipalities that add fluoride to their water supplies do so based on a “one dose fits all” approach.  This blanket approach fails to address the smaller size of infants and children and the larger proportions of water and other fluoridated beverages they drink. Significantly, a formula-fed infant drinks its weight in water every three to four days, resulting in the most vulnerable members of the population consuming by far the largest dose of fluoride.

Fluoridation advocates have acknowledged that fluoride’s predominant effects for growing decay-resistant, harder teeth come from topical use (i.e., applying it directly onto teeth) as opposed to systemic exposure (i.e., drinking or ingesting fluoride through water or other means). However, research also has indicated that fluoride does not aid in preventing pit and fissure decay (the most prevalent form of tooth decay in the U.S.) or in preventing baby bottle tooth decay (prevalent in less affluent communities). In malnourished children and individuals of lower socioeconomic status, fluoride may actually increase the risk of dental caries due to calcium depletion and other circumstances. Given this body of research—and Harvard experts’ warning that fluoride is one of 12 industrial chemicals known to cause developmental neurotoxicity in human beings—why do public health officials persist in claiming that water fluoridation is either necessary or safe?

[Researchers] found that the reasonable maximum exposure estimates exceeded the upper tolerable intake and concluded that some children may be at risk for fluorosis.

Overexposure and Dental Fluorosis

Exposure to excess fluoride in children is known to result in dental fluorosis, a condition in which the tooth enamel becomes irreversibly damaged and the teeth become permanently discolored, displaying a white or brown mottling pattern and forming brittle teeth that break and stain easily. Dental researchers have identified dental fluorosis as a first sign of fluoride toxicity.

According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released in 2010, 41% of children aged 12-15 exhibit fluorosis to some degree, up from 23% of 12-15-year-olds in 1986 (see figure below). These increases in rates of dental fluorosis were a factor in the U.S. Public Health Service’s 2015 decision to dramatically lower its water fluoridation level recommendations, from a high of 1.2 milligrams per liter (mg/L) down to 0.7 mg/L.



The downward revision of the Public Health Service’s recommendations for fluoride concentrations in drinking water fails to account for the fact that children are exposed to many different sources of fluoride on a daily basis. Exposure to these diverse sources has drastically increased since community water fluoridation began in the U.S. in the 1940s. In addition to water and other beverages, fluoride exposure occurs through food, air, soil, dental products used at home and in the dental office, and through an array of other sources.

Several studies conducted in the United States have offered data about children’s exposure to multiple sources of fluoride, as well as warnings about the situation. Markedly, a study published in 2015 by researchers at the University of Iowa considered exposure from water, toothpaste, fluoride “supplements” and foods. The researchers found that there was considerable individual variation in exposure levels and offered data showing that some children exceed the alleged “optimal” range. Highlighting the problematic nature of issuing recommendations about fluoride intake, the authors concluded:

[I]t’s doubtful that parents or clinicians could adequately track children’s fluoride intake and compare it [to] the recommended level, rendering the concept of an “optimal” or target intake relatively moot.

A similar 2005 study by researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago evaluated children’s fluoride exposure from drinking water, beverages, cow’s milk, foods, fluoride “supplements,” toothpaste swallowing and soil ingestion. They found that the reasonable maximum exposure estimates exceeded the upper tolerable intake and concluded that “some children may be at risk for fluorosis.”

… research completed by Dr. Elise Bassin while at Harvard School of Dental Medicine showed that exposure to fluoride at ‘recommended’ levels correlated with a seven-fold increase in osteosarcoma in boys who had been exposed between the ages of five and seven.

Pediatric Cancers and Fluoride

In 2006, the National Research Council (NRC) issued a report discussing the potential link between fluoride exposure and osteosarcoma. This type of bone cancer is one of the most common groups of malignant tumors in children and adolescents. The NRC stated that while the evidence was as of yet tentative, fluoride appeared to have the potential to promote bone cancers; the authors also cited biological plausibility due to “fluoride’s deposition into bone and its mitogenic effects on bone cells.”

A mitogen is a chemical substance that triggers cell division (mitosis)—and cancer represents mitosis that has run amok.

While some epidemiological studies have failed to find an association between fluoride and osteosarcoma, research completed by Dr. Elise Bassin while at Harvard School of Dental Medicine showed that exposure to fluoride at “recommended” levels correlated with a seven-fold increase in osteosarcoma in boys who had been exposed between the ages of five and seven. Bassin’s research, published in 2006, is the only study about osteosarcoma that has taken age- and sex-specific risks into account.

… discussion has ensued as a result of several research studies published in 2018 that linked fluoride to underactive thyroid, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and other adverse impacts on health and behavior.

Google Just Scrubbed Natural Health Websites From Its Search Results; Whistleblower Explains How and Why

***CENSORSHIP IS REAL. YOU CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE BY SHARING THIS ON SOCIAL AND FORWARDING IT VIA EMAIL. THANK YOU!!***

Earlier this month, in one devastating algorithmic stroke, Google removed many of the top natural health and health freedom websites from their organic search results -- some losing as much as 99% of their traffic. In fact, the term "organic" should no longer be used to describe Google's referral traffic, as a jaw-dropping undercover investigation by Project Veritas reveals: Google surreptitiously manipulates its search results and auto-suggestions to conform to a very specific set of sociopolitical and economic agendas intended to manipulate elections and promote private interests.

We live in amazing times, albeit intense, filled with incredible darkness and light.

But thanks to the power of the internet, we have a level of freedom of information never enjoyed before by any previous generation on Earth -- and that information is the very life’s blood of democratic ideals, and the necessary ingredient for informed consent and health freedom, our primary advocacies.

But what happens when the gate-keepers of the content that flows through this incredible invention, like Facebook and Pinterest, censor and shadow ban certain of its users or content, or their ability to send you messages via email service provider platforms like Mailchimp, as we’ve recently experienced on GreenMedInfo.com? Where do we go for information then? 

Why not skip the social media filtering and email platform censorship and go back to using Google, you might ask. Aren’t they the very archetype and modern-day oracle of fairness, having become synonymous with looking for and finding objective answers. 

After all, wouldn’t you expect that if you typed in turmeric research, GreenMedInfo.com would come up on the first page, given we have the world’s largest, open access resource on the topic which curates over 2,700 peer-reviewed studies relevant to over 800 diseases, on the topic? Whereas a few years ago, our search traffic was growing, today it’s as if we don’t exist on the internet any longer (unless you specifically search for us by name). 

Instead, today, you find first page google results on turmeric like: “Turmeric May Not Be a Miracle Spice After All” from Time.com, or “Turmeric: Uses, Side Effects, Interactions, Dosage, and Warning” from WebMD.com, which overlook much of the research we have gathered, and make turmeric sound like it's just another drug that you have to be very careful to take. 

Apparently, this is entirely by design! On June 3rd, in fact, Google rolled out its latest core algorithm change, which obliterated the organic search results for the majority of the top sites in the natural health and health freedom advocating sector of the internet. Sites like DrAxe.com, Kellybroganmd.com (stats depicted in the image below), and Naturalnews.com saw most of their traffic removed overnight. 

Mercola.com, perhaps the most heavily hit of all, broke the story in its two-part report: “Google buries Mercola in their latest search engine update, Part 1 and 2.” 

Mercola.com has been a source of whistle-blowing information about Big Pharma and Big Tech collusion for decades, so it is no surprise why Google would take this action against his platform, and similar ones. In fact, signs of the coming purge came back in 2016, when GlaxoSmithKline signed a $715 million contract to partner with Google, and with increasing partnerships with pharmaceutical companies in 2019 like Sanofi.  Google's parent company Alphabet is heavily invested in a vaccine company,Vaccitech, founded by scientists at Oxford University. Google, it appears, has become a pay-to-play operation, and contains a specific sociopolitical and economic agenda that is built directly into its search algorithms. 

Amazingly, on the same day of Mercola’s report, June 24th, an investigative reporter by the name of James O’ Keefe, founder of Project Veritas, released an undercover video of a top Google executive and a whistleblower from within Google, revealing how the company is manipulating search results to unduly influence elections, but how they are applying an Orwellian-type narrative to the autosuggestions, search results, and google news aggregator feed used by billions daily. This is a must watch video, and was almost immediately removed by Youtube (owned by Google), further validating how badly they don’t want the information to get out there.

In Emergency Bill, House Dems Vote To Send More Fake Tears To Address Border Crisis

In Emergency Bill, House Dems Vote To Send More Fake Tears To Address Border Crisis

 

 

June 26th, 2019

WASHINGTON, D.C.—In an emergency bill rushed to the House floor and passed Wednesday, House Democrats voted to send more fake tears to address the crisis on the southern border.

The bill authorizes Congress to send more representatives to the southern border to stage fake photo-ops where they appear to cry over mistreated immigrants.

"The best way to address a humanitarian crisis is to take a photo op showing how compassionate you are," said Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. "Rather than trying to address the monetary needs of those trying to handle the flood of immigrants coming over the border, we will simply fly down there and cry, peeking to make sure the photographers are looking at us the whole time."

Though the two ladies have sometimes found themselves at odds over other policies, Nancy Pelosi agreed with Ocasio-Cortez's approach to the problem.

"You can't just spend your way out of a crisis like this---you have to virtue-signal your way out of it," Pelosi said.

The Senate is not expected to sign off on the bill, though Republican senators suggested they might be able to come to a compromise if they're allowed to commit millions more tears to abortion without doing anything to actually stop it.

Readers of the Bee,

If just a small fraction of our visitors became subscribers, we'd have enough funding to stop running ads and reduce our dependence on big tech companies like Facebook and Google. Will you partner with us to make this possible?

How NYC Gets Its Homeless to Make Tracks: Free Rent Pretty Much Anywhere

How NYC Gets Its Homeless to Make Tracks: Free Rent Pretty Much Anywhere

By Max Diamond, RealClearInvestigations
June 25, 2019
New York City has a distinctive way of dealing with the homeless: pay for them to live pretty much anywhere in the country.

Since 2014, Mayor Bill de Blasio’s administration has used a program called Special One-Time Assistance to relocate nearly 10,000 homeless people to over 300 cities. The program – which directly pays landlords a year of rent upfront, free to the beneficiary – is a significant departure from past city homeless relocation efforts because it does not require participants to have strong community ties to the new destination.

Under the program, which comes as homelessness is rising not just in New York but in other major cities, NYC’s homeless have moved as far away as Orlando, Los Angeles, Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and Birmingham, Ala.

Despite the rental subsidy, the program saves the city a lot of money on health, safety, education and other costs related to homelessness while reducing pressure on its shelter system. But mayors on the receiving end say New York is taking advantage of them. “We have our own challenges here. We don’t need to have New York City exporting people into our communities,” said Mayor Mike Spano of Yonkers, where 101 households have relocated under the program. “That’s certainly not the right thing to do.”

Still, the program has not received much attention or pushback in part because New York has not coordinated with – or even informed – other communities about it. Spano, a Democrat, said he learned of the program only recently.

Mayor Elinor Carbone of Torrington, Conn., a Republican, found out about the program from a reporter for RealClearInvestigations. “You’re kidding me,” she said when informed that New York’s homeless have used it to relocate to her town. “That’s incredible. Wow."

"You're kidding," this mayor said, when told of New York City's homeless relocations. "That's incredible. Wow."

Fully Vaccinated vs. Unvaccinated

By Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

The Institute of Medicine (IOM) has repeatedly asked CDC to create studies which explain, “How do child health outcomes compare between fully vaccinated and unvaccinated children?”

During a November 2012 Congressional hearing on autism before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, Dr. Coleen Boyle, the Director of the National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities, gave evasive answers to lawmakers pressing her on this point. After considerable badgering, she finally stated, “We have not studied vaccinated versus unvaccinated [children].” That was perjury.

Verstraeten found a dramatic link between mercury-containing hepatitis B vaccines and several neurological injuries including autism and prepared the study for publication.

 

Boyle knew that CDC had commissioned an in-house researcher, Thomas Verstraeten to perform vaccinated/unvaccinated study on CDC’s giant Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD) in 1999 (I summarize Verstraeten’s secret findings on slide 2). Verstraeten found a dramatic link between mercury-containing hepatitis B vaccines and several neurological injuries including autism and prepared the study for publication. CDC shared Verstraeten’s analysis with the then four vaccine makers but kept it secret from the American public.

The world’s largest vaccine maker GSK whisked Verstraeten off to a sinecure in Brussels and CDC handed his raw data to his CDC boss Frank DeStefano and another researcher, Robert Davis who served as a vaccine industry consultant. Those two men tortured the data for 4 years, removing all unvaccinated children, to bury the autism signal before publishing a sanitized version purporting to exculpate the vaccine. The CDC then cut off public access to the VSD and to this day aggressively blocks any attempts by researchers to study health outcomes in vaccinated vs. unvaccinated populations.

Despite CDC’s efforts at suppression, independent scientists and research institutions (including UCLA) have managed to conduct and publish several additional vaccinated/unvaccinated studies since 1999. Those studies indicate high incidence of chronic diseases and brain and immune system injuries among vaccinated compared to unvaccinated cohorts. I summarize some of these reports in the following slides. (See full-sized slides)

Report: Internet Users Who Call For Attacking Other Countries Will Now Be Enlisted In The Military Automatically

Report: Internet Users Who Call For Attacking Other Countries Will Now Be Enlisted In The Military Automatically

June 21st, 2019

U.S.—A new policy issued by the United States Department of Defense, in conjunction with online platforms like Twitter and Facebook, will automatically enlist you to fight in a foreign war if you post your support for attacking another country.

People who bravely post about how the U.S. needs to invade some country in the Middle East or Asia or outer space will get a pop-up notice indicating they've been enlisted in the military. A recruiter will then show up at their house and whisk them away to fight in the foreign war they wanted to happen so badly.

"Frankly, recruitment numbers are down, and we needed some way to find people who are really enthusiastic about fighting wars," said a DOD official. "Then it hit us like a drone strike: there are plenty of people who argue vehemently for foreign intervention. It doesn't matter what war we're trying to create: Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, North Korea, China---these people are always reliable supporters of any invasion abroad. So why not get them there on the frontlines?"

"After all, we want people who are passionate about occupying foreign lands, not grunts who are just there for the paycheck," he added.

Strangely, as soon as the policy was implemented, 99% of saber-rattling suddenly ceased.
