Journalism

Posted by Mr. Varnum on 6th February 2009

We began by reviewing the recent Lowell Sun article on the budget situation in Tyngsborough Public Schools.  We expanded that to a lesson on how much town information is public knowledge by using the Town of Tyngsboro site to find teacher salaries.
