Talk:Council Rock School District

Untitled

There is a lot to talk about when it comes to Council Rock. I encourage everyone to edit to his heart's content!

Council Rock named a school for WHOM?

I went to see my old house on New Road where I lived in the seventies as a boy and found a big ugly warehouse-style building on the other side from where my house. First, I find out it's a relatively new elementary school. Then I find out it was named for. . . Maureen Welch, my second-grade teacher? The woman who made second grade so hideous for me I couldn't wait to get to third grade?? WTF?? :-O

The Council Rock

I would like to see information on the actual Council Rock, for which the school district is named. --Lbeaumont 18:49, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

council rock is bad ....

Council Rock School district is talked up to be a great public school. The school district offers many varieties of classes for kids who may need help as well as those who excel. However, at council rock if you are not academically at the top, the treatment is different. Through out my 13 years in the district there were many instances that I was held back, instead of moving forward with my education. Of course there were the few teachers who were truly there to do something they loved and wanted to help kids, but for the most part the teachers are trying to get by with minimal effort. Due to CRSD teachers being the highest paid in the state of PA the drive to be employed seem to be precedent. The students are middle to upper class which is evident by driving through the parking lot or walking around the hall ways of one of the schools. Drug use is high … —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.110.107.144 (talk) 01:39, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Vandalism!

An edit made in June of this year that blanked all content pertaining to the strike is nothing less than vandalism. I tracked down the IP address to the same ISP that provides Internet services to the entire school district (Comcast Business Services), which makes me suspect that it was someone in the district who made the change. I'm currently working on fixing it. Andrewman327 (talk) 02:05, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

I just made the change. It's well documented and well within Wikipedia guidelines. Bring any questions/problems here or to my talk page before removing content.Andrewman327 (talk) 02:05, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

leadership and community organizations

An editor recently questioned two edits I made a while back, so I'm establishing this section to open the matter for discussion. In summary:

• The section "Independent Organizations Associated with District Wide Activities" (which I removed in this edit) appeared to be only tangentially related to the district, and gave undue weight to those organizations, in my opinion. If there is a consensus that they're worth including, I would at least push to edit that section down significantly. A few lines or so should suffice, I would think. Separate subsections is overkill.
• The section "Leadership" (which I removed in this edit) listed board members with their terms. The information is readily available on the district's own page, and I suppose it seemed to be of very limited interest, and therefore a little superfluous here.

I still think the article is better without the above – it seems indiscriminate to me – but I'd like to hear others' thoughts. --Fru1tbat (talk) 16:58, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

• • There was a dispute in which a charity associated with the school district, The Council Rock Education Foundation (CREF), (501C3) was being confused by the public and disparaged as being political. It was being confused with Council Rock Education Association (CREA) the local affiliate of the teachers' union National Education Association, as well as the Citizens For Education (CFE), which is a non-partisan group which advocates for public education. This confusion, at televised board meetings and replayed on the internet, damaged the contribution rate for the Education Foundation. Hence, the listing of the organizations previously. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.91.25.193 (talk) 16:07, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
