I would just hope that whoever we hire wants to be here long term and wants to take ownership in the school, to work with residents on providing a solid education while understanding the small town restrictions such as costs to the tax payer, to understand that they may have to have 5, 10, 15 year plans so things don't have to be immediate and that Cranbury is not like many other towns. <br /> <br />We have gone through our massive building of residential and students will come from turnover of existing homes for the most part. So whoever we get I hope understands that this is not a Princeton size school district or a private school district.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Guest</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Fri, Oct 29 2010, 11:27 pm EDT<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: Mr. Haney Resigns</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody"></span><table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"><tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>Guest wrote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote">You don't know Mr. Haney but you do feel qualified to conclude that since 1988 "things went wrong" with the school and therefore imply that the current administrators are managing it poorly. <br /> <br />First of all, it's hard to compare 1988 and before to now. Cranbury is much more populous now so by definition it’s going to be different. Entire neighborhoods like Cranbury Greene didn’t exist then. <br /> <br />But more importantly, can you qualify how the school is wrong now or since them? In that time it has received the Blue Ribbon award not once but twice. How many times did it receive it before 1988? It's reputation in the state and nationally as an excellent public school has only grown since then. And I haven't seen the test schools pre-1988, but I would be surprised if they are worse now overall and not surprised if they are better. <br /> <br />So how exactly did it go wrong? You mention cooperation with the Township but qualify how exactly that doesn’t exist and how it has resulted in a less successful school for our kids? And where do you get the idea that the school is littered with administrators everywhere now? You mentioned one position that is now two. But did you compare the number of students now versus then before you assumed that was a mistake? <br /> <br />I am open to hearing legitimate concerns about the quality of the school now but so far it just sounds like "good old days" nostalgia -- everything was better before because change is bad, right?</td> </tr></table><span class="postbody"> <br /> <br />We had a blue ribbon school before. I knew all the administrators prior to Mr. Haney and was actively involved with the school. What When Mr. Haney came in right away our public library was a safety concern. When Bob was here he spoke often of his plans for the school growth and vision. <br /> <br />I am not saying the staff since Charlie made the school worse. I am saying they did not see the school as their last stop except for Carol who I knew as an English teacher as well. <br /> <br />The school has always been top. However, the school administration in the past also understood the economics. It was not give me this and that.
