 Susanna Opper is a person of pursuing plenty like a plateful of palette-pleasing dishes. Hiking? Speaking? Storytelling? Videos? Ushering? Movie-going? She's got all that going on Plus she's a great Constant Contact account coach. So what do I do when I learn of a free offer from Constant Contact?

I like that the discussion is seeking creative solutions to the challenges we face. I realize this forum is about 'school and the impact education have on our youth current and for their futures.." I am curious if Anyone in the Entire State, Country or World has considered what I have braved sharing rather independently about Keeping Our Kids Safe Both at Home and In School and In-Between?

I spoke up at parent gathering to a full house at HVRHS when my eldest was a freshman, about 14 (early 2000s)about years ago...and basically one friend said "No one knew why you as a parent would take a

 I appreciate these forums on Facebook for local school communities (such as one discussing Region One CT school issues) since back in the day in the 1990s and 2000s, I had many concerns even at the grade school level..and felt I was running into brick walls with administration.

Likely every grade level and age group needs a set of volunteer responsible adults and parents to monitor how the children are doing to help them meet minimal learning requirements in addition to whatever is formally taught and required...

Lucky me, I learned about the Connecticut Home Care Program for Elders run through the DSS Alternate Care Unit. Their number for information is 800-445-5394.The pamphlet I picked up reviews some basic 'facts of life' such as nursing home care costing many tens of thousands of dollars a year.

I shared this with a friend who I've known since I was a kid...whose teen son passed in a difficult way unexpectedly about a month before our teen son passed. Since then I've met many mothers who lose custody or access to their children. They refer to 'losing their kids' which is thankfully not about having them die. I think some clarification would be helpful but the pain is real, as though their children were taken 'for good'. Groups called Mothers of Lost Children and the CA Protective Parents Alliance have worked to promote Resolution 72.
