Subject: NB district turnaround plan
Hi,
I got your voice mail about the NB turnaround plan. Commissioner Chester did receive an email from Dr. Francis late Monday evening, April 2nd in which she asked for guidance on whether to submit the district’s turnaround plan. Commissioner Chester has been communicating on this matter with Mayor Mitchell in his role as Chair of the School Committee.
Prior to April 2nd, the mayor had contacted the commissioner directly to request an extension to the deadline for submitting the district’s turnaround plan.
The commissioner granted the mayor’s request for an extension and will work closely with the mayor on setting a new timeline.
Given the fact that an extension has been granted, the Department does not expect to receive nor will it review the district’s turnaround plan until the issue involving district leadership has been resolved.
a public employee talking about other employees is underhanded? No. A mayor asking ESE to play politics and pre-staging School Committee votes to undermine a superintendent is underhanded, however.
Why are we not contacting the Governor? Shouldn't he have oversight over a rougue DESE Chair? I don't recall Mitchell being a Democrat- therefore ripe for the picking by Deval!

Who recieved this e-mail, and how did it end up on a puplic blog? doesen't that seem under handed?
