We all recognize that Para's are busy people. While trying to balance our personal life and professional life, we sometimes overdue it. In the educational profession, it is especially easy to fall into a habit of wanting to do more than is necessary and take away anothers learning opportunity at the same time. While working one evening on a report, a friend of mine sent this to me. If it causes you to pause and smile, good. If you can think of someone to share this with, even better. Say it everyday and see if your days go a little easier for you.

If you have any ideas and/or suggestions for this webpage please let one of the officers know.  Also, if there is anything that you would like to post on here please let me know (your friendly treasurer).  I can post it on this page once I run it by the other officers and members.  Thank you.

The Maine State Board of Education Select Panel on Revisioning Education in Maine released their report on September 28, 2006.  The 90 page report calls for sweeping changes in public education, including a longer school year, higher salaries and merit pay for teachers, larger school districts and an end to construction of schools too small to be cost effective.
