Holland Leaves Concord, Heads to Morse Elementary School

The Ardsley school district's loss is the Tarrytowns school district's gain.

Thanks to Dr. Lauren Allen of the Ardsley schools for sending Patch this note she wrote to parents about Thomas Holland:

At last night’s Board of Education meeting we accepted the resignation of Mr. Holland, the principal of Concord Road Elementary School.  Mr. Holland has been named principal of the Morse Elementary School in Tarrytown, NY.

We thank Mr. Holland for his five years of service and the contributions he has made to the Ardsley School District.  We extend our congratulations to him and wish him much luck and success in his new position.

In anticipation of the resignation, we placed an ad in the NY Times a few weeks ago.  Now that Mr. Holland has been officially appointed in Tarrytown and his resignation accepted in Ardsley, we can begin the screening and hiring process for a new principal.    We fully expect to have a new principal in place by July 1, 2012.

A big part of the problem is that the teachers' expectations about what supplies are necessary haveRead More become so extreme. When my kids were in school in Tarrytown, we would get a list at the beginning of every school year of the supplies we needed to buy. The parents were asked to buy a separate looseleaf binder for every single class our kids were taking and, for some classes, they asked for a looseleaf AND a spiral notebook. When I was in school, each kid had ONE looseleaf and we separated classes with dividers. Having SIX or seven loose leafs adds to backpack weight and costs a lot of money. My kids supply bills were often close to $100 apiece. The teachers have bought into this idea that all of these supplies are necessary and they are not. I'm not surprised that Staples is offering "rewards programs." Their advertising and marketing efforts have convinced the teachers that you must have a package of 12 red correcting pens, per child.
