"While the Studer process will fan out over all the district, it’s not likely that every school will immediately adopt it the way TAGOS has."
"TAGOS dean of students, Al Lindau, was so inspired when he heard Studer speak that he rushed to incorporate the ideas into the new charter school."
"Another idea Lindau adopted was to visit with staff and students on a regular basis to find out:"
-This is from 2008! Doesn't look like the Studer Principles were truly implemented at TAGOS. Or at least JSD doesn't think so.

This is just poor online reporting by the Gazette. Post the whole story and the details or leave out the Weiner part. Poor journalism IMO. Makes the school district look bad. Then again, the Gazette seems to enjoy doing this IMO.

Studer is the way to go! The group is a money making machine. Jump aboard if u can.

Jp, contracts are being negotiated and going to arbitration. They can't do anything with the teachers and custodial now. They could of looked at cuts in admin. pay or summer furloughs for non-teaching staff, but they didn't.

It is only going to get worse. If you think $25-$30 is bad, wait until the next budget. The district doesn't even know what the arbitrator is going to do with the contract negotiations. At least the board made sure that by only levying 4%, it will be all the teachers' fault when it isn't enough.
Get ready for a ton of fundraiser sales this school year to off set the lack of money, especially for athletics.

Good idea to close a school. Then the district could sell it to the county to use for the over crowded jail and detention center. Keep cutting and that's what will happen. We will pay less now, but a lot more later. Just look at the number of 15-20 yr olds listed in this paper on a daily basis for drugs, burglary, etc.

Thank you Mamab for your hard work and contribution to the future of our community.
I was under the impression that teachers were exempt from paying school taxes since they work for the schools. The people on these blogs make it seem like teachers are not tax payers, but just servants to the tax payers. LOL!

Good idea, Allfor1!
Teachers go into teaching because they love working with kids. They know going in that they are not going to get rich, but I think the Universities are failing to teach them about the lack of respect they will get from communities such as several in Rock County.

rodgersfan, I think your confusing Milton's health insurance with Janesville's. Janesville's plan is a cash cow for the district. The teachers over pay into their plan and at the end of the year do not get the extra back. The SDJ puts the teachers money into the fund balance that is over 20 million. The sdj would be crazy to change plans!

Mr. E., I'm sure the school district of Janesville doesn't miss you or your anti-teacher BLOGS! So it is a win-win for both JSD and you!
