The statements below which were made on January 4, 2011 seem to contradict what she's saying today. Big Surprise? No, not really. Those who know Jill are not surprised by her constant flip-flops. Most who know her would probably be shocked if she actually stuck to a position, any position.
"I do think Dr. Francis has done a wonderful job for our community," said committee member Jill Ussach, who graded Francis as exceeding expectations in 14 of the 40 categories.
"She's healed a lot of wounds; she's closed a lot of gaps. ... I'm very pleased with her as a choice for superintendent."

Jill is like the former leaders of the Soviet Union. She engages in "revisionist history" with the hopes that no one remembers or has the proof of what really happened.
Let's remember that Ms. Ussach and Larry Finnerty are listed as references on Portia Bonner's credentials as she sends them around the country.
jill, did harvey write this for you? If so, you should have given him the facts.
"revisionist history" is not uncommon for jill, just watch the old school committee meetings or watch her election videos and you'll see what i mean.
One can always always count on Jill to be consistent like the wind.
Let's not forget that the voters of New Bedford rewarded her for her flipflops by not reelecting her.
If we wait a few more minutes, Jill will change her "mind" again. God bless her little heart.
The evidence suggests that the bad principals we currently have were all hired by mike and portia.
Hey Jill when did Lou St. John ever say that Portia was a good choice for NBPS? Once again, Jill makes up stories at the drop of the hat which she has been doing for decades.
Here goes Jill flip-flopping changing her mind just like the wind changes daily. She is now in campaign mode in the paper and on the radio for the next election--free advertising I would say. Harvey start writing those letters for her!!!
Jill, since when did Lou state that "Portia was a great choice?" You constantly make up stories as you go. Are you looking for a job from Jon Mitchell? Why, you didn't support him during the election!!!!
Jill, get your facts correct before you write an editorial. Mary Lou TAUGHT in the New Bedford Public Schools at the high school. Stop making up lies just as you have done for decades by telling everyone that you have your degrees and teach to college students. Just the other week on the Ken Pittman show, you mentioned that you taught a college class. I don't know any college that would hire someone to teach with just a high school diploma!

I hear Jill was heavily criticized for publishing her letter so now nancy feeny is going around trying to do damage control on Jill's behalf.
Mary Louise Francis was merely doing what she was told to do by the school committee. If she gets the axe then the school committee should as well. They should not be allowed to hide behind their scapegoat! They dictate everything in this district and some members' reputations for retributive actions against disobedient employees is well known amongst the staff in this city. It's absolutely criminal what some of these politicians get away with! Disgusting that these are the people that will control the future education of the children of our city. I wish I could afford to move to spare my own children the result of their deceit and stupidity.
