Public School Advisory Notice: Poser Going Door to Door

A salesman/woman has been going door to door trying to sell educational materials in the guise of being an intern.

Dr. Kevin Smith, superintendent of schools

 

Dear Parents and Caregivers: Within the last several days my office has received a number of calls and emails regarding an individual who is going door to door in Bethel purporting to represent the Bethel Public Schools as an "intern."

This morning I contacted the Bethel PD and alerted them to this. Lt. Kennedy investigated and learned that the individual in question has a permit to conduct sales and works for a company based in Omaha, Nebraska that sells books and other "educational materials."

Please be advised that this individual does not represent the Bethel Public Schools or the Bethel Board of Education. Bethel Public Schools has not evaluated any of these materials and is not endorsing them. The Bethel PD has been in contact with the salesperson and has advised her to stick closely to her script so that community members clearly understand she is not representing Bethel Public Schools. Please feel free to contact me with any further questions. 

Warm Regards, 

Kevin Smith

"Bethel teachers are not only educating students, but when society lets kids down, it’sRead More teachers who step in to fill the gap." Explain to me how an average salary of $60,000 per year for working 183 days during that year and an EXTREMELY generous retirement package (compared to the 240 a year the rest of us have to work) considered "society letting them down"?

It was a great job Mike and the EDC did on keeping the jobs from Cannondale from leaving Bethel. TooRead More bad Paul Z. won't have the guts to ask you about it on this "lively" show.

Billy: Since I don't own a beat up 1998 Honda (rather, a non-beat up, rather nice, rather newRead More European sedan) does that mean I would have been immune to the seduction of the reduction in my property taxes? Just trying to follow your logic here...
