 (Photo of Mr. Hinds by E.J. Greenblat) THE MAN AND THE PLAZA: The 2007 Year in Review highlights the merging of Princeton old and new that came about last spring when Borough Council named the plaza next to the Princeton Public Library after the witness to nearly a century of Princeton history, Albert E. Hinds. The long-time John Street resident died in April 2006, shortly after his 104th birthday. |
A look back at 2007 reveals a number of notable events that will impact the coming years: from the failure of the public schools budget, to the opening of the Harriet Bryan House at Elm Court; from the political rancor resulting from the Borough’s stalled downtown development project, to an an amplified dialogue over senior housing.
The state’s proposed new affordable housing growth share mandates released last week calling for a significant increase in New Jersey’s low-cost housing stock received praise from housing advocates, but could prove problematic for Princeton as the rules now exempt some of the region’s most significant developers: K through 12 schools and higher education institutions.
What is more important, uniform documentation of a lesson or the creative design of that lesson? That was the question that members of the teaching profession put to the Board of Education on Tuesday, December 18, when some 50 Princeton Regional Schools teachers attended the Board of Education’s monthly meeting to express their displeasure at what they feel is a lack of communication between teachers and the administration over new requirements to write lesson plans in a “very prescribed manner.”
