Carol Gregorich, whose work as Chief Business Officer has enabled the New Haven Unified School District to minimize the financial impact of declining enrollment and state budget reductions – while at the same time maximizing resources for teaching and learning – has announced her retirement.

“Like most people in her position, Carol understands the BUSINESS of education. Unlike some, though, she also understands EDUCATION,” Superintendent Dr. Pat Jaurequi said. “She’s always worked with the knowledge that the stakes are extremely high.”

Ms. Gregorich has worked in New Haven since 1993. Her last day will be June 30.

Despite griping from students and staff, the first week of new security measures at James Logan went relatively well, according to Principal Don Montoya.

"Frankly, it all worked quite well," Montoya said in an email update on the changes Saturday. Even so, "we will continue to refine the procedures until we get it all where it needs to be."

As part of that fine-tuning, he said that interior gates in the school would be unlocked earlier, and that students late to school will be directed to enter campus only through front gate near the attendance windows, so tardy students can be processed more efficiently.

From wikipedia:
Flora Tristan (born April 7, 1803 in Paris, France - died November 14, 1844 in Bordeaux, France) was a socialist writer and activist. She was also one of the founders of modern feminism and, through Alina María Chazal, Paul Gauguin's grandmother. Her complete name was Flore-Celestine -Therèse-Henriette Tristan-Moscoso. Her father, Mariano Tristán y Moscoso, was an Arequipa-born Peruvian colonel of the Spanish Navy, and her mother, Anne Laisney, a Frenchwoman. Her parents met in Bilbao, Spain during her father's stay there.
