Your Arlington, your views

The Sept. 25, 2007, School Committee drew an audience estimated at 80. Among other matters, they heard a presentation from Arlington High School students and others involved in trips last summer to Japan and Vietnam. In photo, student Courtney Jones tells about the trip to Nagaokakyo, Japan, Arlington’s sister city. Flanking her are former School Committee member Paul Schlichtman and his wife, Rieko. For photos of that trip, see >>. Students who went Vietnam are Julia and Ben Patterson. A number of those listening included those who had been part of protest outside Arlington High School organized by the Arlington Education Association. The protest included complaints about privacy and calls not to renew the contract of Superintendent Nate Levenson.
