Slideshare slows page
In case you notice that the page is loading slowly today, I have as well. It seems to be related to the SlideShare posted yesterday as part of the School Committee meeting.
I'll need to find another service to use to post slides in that format. In the meantime, I hope it doesn't slow down reading the pages too much. If it does, I'll remove the slides until I find a better tool.
Please let me know if it is hindering your reading!

Sabolinski - I included class size data in your packets. The wage deferrals, stimulus money helped to maintain reasonable class sizes.
H1N1 - the support of the faculty has been tremendous, we will be ready for the clinics. There is no time line as the supply of the vaccine has been at a trickle. A letter to update the parents will be going out via ConnectED tomorrow.
Mullen - There is a Latin 4/5 position with 37 students
