On the contrary ...I am an incredibly informed, educated and involved parent. On January 8, 2013, Melinda Thies, superintendent of Bristol/Warren Schools attended the PTO meeting. Most of the evenings discussion pertained to school safety and the new policies to be implemented. A conntect-ed call was sent to all parents from Ms Thies, an email from Dr Lattuca, principal of Colt Andrews and a notice was sent home with each child. All three of these events happened well before 1/28. These outreaches clearly stated all visitors/volunteers must be on an approved list from the teacher prior to visit. What I didn't know was parents feel its their right to just "stop by" for lunch. Yes, Birthdays are a special event for a child.Celebrate over breakfast or dinner ! What I think has outrage most of the public is the fact this mother felt it necessary to alert the media of some serious wrong doing... trying to make the school look bad ! The principal DID NOT turn her away. The gentleman gives up his valuable work space so she can lunch with her kid !!!!! and yet she runs to the newspaper and has a photo opt.
