Everyone knows that Wallingford has a long
and uphill road ahead to increase the
diversity of it's school faculty.
While we agree that this is only a start
(see editorial cartoon at left, reprinted with permission of the
Meriden Record-Journal, September
20,
2004), we also recognize
that recent efforts are best served by offering
our support and guidance, and not by rehashing
criticisms based on the problems of the past.
Our past problems are a part of public record.
Our future has yet to be written.
Below, please read what steps we are taking to write a new chapter.
