Yet, the Naples Daily News wrote about one with just over 400 views and extremely inflamatory towards Kathleen Curatolo. Interesting.
For the record, Ms. Curatolo is the only Board member who has done ANYTHING remotely productive toward securing accreditation.
If there is any hope to keep accreditation, it is with Curatolo and Sprague/Paterno.
Vote Curatolo and Sprague - replace Calabrese with Paterno...oh what a wonderful CCPS world it would be.

Collier County School Board
Some quick facts regarding SACS AccreditationSACS stands for Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, the accreditation body for the Southern United States. Collier County is facing the loss of this prestigious designation due to the School Boards’ actions. They have been given multiple opportunities to improve and just received another 6 months. It may be the last opportunity for the community to react.
The situation has been exasperated by the lack of media coverage in the local paper. Collier has been on warning status since last year. The School Board first received the report in April of 2007 prior to the Ray Baker firing and prior to the Hinshaw and Culbertson report. The SACS team has been monitoring the situation looking for improvement from the board since that time.
Should district accreditation be revoked, all individual public schools will lose accreditation as well. It will be FIVE years before we can reapply. Collier County schools have maintained their accreditation since the 1950’s.
Graduating from a school district without accreditation will render the diploma virtually useless. Graduating Seniors in Collier County would NOT BE ELIGIBLE for most scholarships and NOT ELIGIBLE for admittance into many Universities, military academies and a variety of other opportunities.
You WILL SEE your property values decline significantly as a result. Families will flock out of Collier, so will Teachers.
I feel so "blessed" to NOT be a part of this School System while it crashes and burns.
