Dear editor:
As the former principal of the school I feel that I need to clarify the inaccuracies given by Lidia Franco.

(1) The students had made continued progress in reading and math as per the published last eight years of ITBS scores.
(5) Stowe had won a Region 2 CSI $10,000 grant for staff development. The CSI design team teacher members were congratulated for their commitment, dedication, and teamwork in writing the grant proposal.
(10) Education programs that served parents and community members, a bilingual parents’ resource library, and many more programs including the implementation of “Raising Children for an Inclusive Tomorrow” program sponsored by the National Organization of Christians and Jews.
Teachers left the school for many reasons. Some took advantage of retirement plans.
It would be prudent on your part to verify the veracity of allegations such as these leveled by Mrs. Franco prior to printing them.
