What many parents have been waiting to hear
It was announced at the school board meeting tonight that Dr. Deb Allen is retiring in April. Connie Lewis will also be retiring in April. It was rumored that Jan Klein was going to retire with her two friends, but Jan is still hanging on. There was no word about replacements.

TERC Investigations continues
In the earlier post Are families leaving Lebo? UPDATED, a comment was made which was absolutely offensive to me. No, not the one using the word "whores," but the one stated at 1:12 PM on September 18, 2013.
Hundreds. In fact, people are still signing the math petition, PETITION TO ASK THE MT. LEBANON SCHOOL DISTRICT TO REVIEW K-5 MATH CURRICULUM THE USE OF TERC INVESTIGATIONS
From what I understand, the math parents met with Dr. Steinhauer and Dr. Irvin (from Lincoln) in early summer. This was after the school board told the parents to sit down and be quiet. The math family most outspoken at the school board meeting, pulled their children out of Mt. Lebanon Schools. I cannot get any solid numbers (ironic, huh?) on how many children were pulled out of the school system due to the math program, but at least five families left one elementary school because of TERC Investigations.
Nothing has changed. Children are not taught how to stack and carry and borrow. Fourth graders are still reviewing addition!
Which brings me to the following question. What is the status of Deb Allen's contract? She was supposed to be gone three years ago.
Hundreds of parents in Mt Lebo are unhappy with the state of math in our schools.
