City blocks its computers from seeing PTR website
June 19, 2007
Graduation? What graduation?
It's that time of year again, when seniors don caps and gowns so they can sweat together through a ceremony they can barely hear in order to get that little piece of paper that attests to the world that they are, sometimes against long odds, high school graduates.
But you wouldn't know it from Bristol's school websites.
On the Board of Education's website, there's apparently nothing at all to indicate when and where graduations take place this week. Ditto for Eastern and Central's websites.
The next upcoming event listed on the district's website is the July 11th Board of Education meeting, which will likely attract at most a half dozen people. But the events Tuesday that will bring out mobs? Not a word.
At Central, they even have a link for Graduation, but all it contains are photographs of past graduations, stopping in 2005. I kind of like the idea of the pictures, but why let these websites languish like this? They're meant to be a source of information, not just a meaningless gesture to show that, yes, we are living in a new technological era and the schools are right there on the web with Google and YouTube.
C'mon, folks, let's get it right. Update the sites. Fill them with information. Make it all USEFUL.
And, by the way, City Hall, someone can take down the upcoming June 9 auction at the mall from the city's home page. It's over.
