Thank you for your interest, and, please feel free to contact me anytime at mtebbano@bcsd.neric.org.

looking for your input on the budget
December 10, 2009
We are beginning to put together the budget planning for the 2010-11 school year. This process begins officially at the District Community Budget Forums occurring on 1/12, 1/26 and 2/9. All of these meetings begin at 7:00 p.m. at the MS Library on Kenwood Ave. Once again, we confront the prospect that the State Legislature will be enacting a serious deficit reduction in our state aid for 2010-11. Please consider participating in our community forums to assist the Board of Education in setting priorities for our budget. READ MORE »

The theme I chose to speak about was about the district taking advantage of the opportunities presented by the rapidly changing, ever-digital world. I hope you take the opportunity to read the speech and I hope the 2009-10 school year is off to a wonderful start for all in our community. READ DR. TEBBANO'S SPEECH »
