The Education of a School Board Member:
Newsletter reports to constituents from Rochester City School Commissioner Thomas Brennan 2006 to 2010
About these reports...
- Tom Brennan
- I took to tapping out these reports on a manual typewriter, and mailing them to constituents, over the four years I served on the Rochester City Board of Education (2006-2010). These reports were NOT financed by the taxpayers, were cheaply produced, and were mailed out as I could afford (priority given those most likely to be interested in the topic covered). For better or worse, I wrote every word myself, the opinions expressed are mine alone (no board commissioner has individual authority) -- and the reader was/is happy to discover the reports are not filled with pictures of me (like the "reports" you DO pay for from Albany or Washington). In the current media climate, you have to sift and evaluate many divergent sources of information. These newsletters are just one more voice in that choir, and try and let you see how it looked from the inside, to one citizen board member, while I was there.
