KIP is pleased that you are
visiting our website in search of accurate information about the B-R Regional School System and any upcoming changes
regarding the complete Pre-K-12 Comprehensive Plan. This group was originally formed to provide accurate information
regarding the School District.
The group has been criticized of late for being "TOO POLITICAL".
We offer this response:
Unfortunately, education can be political. Selectman need to be accountable to the entire
Town, which includes the School District. For far too long the Schools have not been considered part of the
Town and the Town budget. This group is also attempting to change that archaic way of thinking. We make every
attempt to remain impartial, while at the same time, the residents in this Town must make every attempt to be informed about
their leaders and how their agendas may or may not affect the School District.
This groups' main focus is the education of our kids and providing any information which may affect that education. Does
that make us "political"?...Maybe it does.
We do not force our opinions on others. We only ask that you be informed citizens. Although our main focus
is education we must realize that the education is funded by the Towns of Bridgewater and Raynham and looking at education
in a vacuum is not productive. KIP needs to be aware of all facets of our Town government, particularly how it
affects education, but also how it affects our Town services in general.
