Meeting to Address Changes Since “Scream Room” Controversy

Supt. Michael Frechette is expected to outline improvements made at Farm Hill Elementary School.

When the Middletown board of education meets on Tuesday night, Supt. Michael Frechette is expected to outline improvements made at Farm Hill Elementary School amid the controversy over the so-called "scream room." 
 
School officials have banned the use of the rooms, also called “time-out rooms,” unless parents give permission to use them, but parents are asking the schools to make more improvements, especially for children with special needs. 
 
One mother of a child with special needs has started a petition to remove three administrators from their posts.
 
School officials said law dictates that the superintendent is the only one who can terminate positions.
The meeting will be held at 7 p.m. at city hall.
