Hudson's leadership keeps continuously failing as they keep the same trash leading a failing system. All they like is to control everything and disregard all. The school committee is part of that problem and it starts with the CHAIRPERSON.

Our goal is to
provide:
Transparency to tax payers
Special education
settlement agreements, especially out of district placements, are costly. The
public should be aware of how their money is being spent.
Reduce expenses
Public record requests are
expensive. We have been quoted thousands of dollars for redaction and copying
fees, and then by filing records appeals, been able to get the fees down
into the hundreds of dollars. Multiple taxpayers should not have to pay
multiple times for the same records. They should be easily available for
minimal or no cost. Through our efforts, including filing complaints, we
are establishing standards to minimize the costs to obtain these type of
records. Ultimately, we believe that they should be made available free of
charge to the public and be posted on line.
Reduce time
Public record requests are
time consuming. Taxpayers should not have to wait weeks, months or years for
documents. People making requests should not have to file complaints to
obtain the records. This adds to the delay and also adds to the
public paying legal fees to attorneys working for the districts.
Ultimately, we think the districts should make properly
redacted settlement agreements available on line.
Expose weakness
Special education
settlement agreements and out of district placement agreements may show
weaknesses in programs. Parents of a
district and parents considering moving into a district have the right to know
how a district is serving a particular group of students. They may also
show disparities that the parents of disabled students within a district should
know about and have addressed by the administration.
Help parents negotiate
Parents who are negotiating
an out of district placement need this information to make an informed
