District Now Accepting Out-of-District Students on Tuition Basis

The Board of Education has agreed to allow parents to pay tuition for out-of-district students to attend Tamarac schools. “We have received numerous calls from parents in surrounding communities who would prefer to send their children to Tamarac schools because of the reputation of our educational programs,” said Superintendent Lou McIntosh. “We have the capacity in our schools for more students so we decided this would be a good opportunity to bring in additional revenue to help offset the continued cuts in state aid that are causing our financial challenges.” To learn more click here… Posted 1/18/13.

District's Teacher and Principal Evaluation Plan Approved by New York State

The State Education Department has approved the district’s Annual Professional Performance Review (APPR) plan. The district submitted its plan, which both the district and Brittonkill Teachers Association (BTA) had to agree to, more than a month ago. The state’s approval means the district avoids losing a portion of its state aid, which Governor Andrew Cuomo has threatened if school districts do not receive approval by Jan. 15. “I want to thank the BTA and our administrators for working so well together to get this completed,” said Superintendent Lou McIntosh. “It truly was a collaborative effort and everyone came to the table to make sure this was completed on time.” Click here to see the APPR plan… Posted 12/20/12.
