It will take time to fix the damage that has been done over the past five years, and the School Committee must realize this. One of the first things that should occur is the acknowledgement of mistreatment of teachers and certain administrators from the School Committee. With zero backing of the School Committee, the Mayor, and Superintendent and Assistant Superintendent the number of quality teachers and school administrators that have either left or retired early is staggering. And they are not coming back. All that was needed for jettisoned personnel to remain in the system was support and encouragement. Can a pledge be made not duplicate the same mistakes again?

I am not getting the feeling that they are. Another words, I am not impressed about what I am reading. If we continue to lob these beach ball questions only to receive feel good answers, how is anything going to change. I find it funny that teachers at meetings are told to think out of the box, but when it comes to our expectations of the top positions, the school committee lacks the confidence to drill down to specifics; the drivers to really create change. The same old, I'm coming back to my roots or the district is up and coming or really good things are happening here are not what we need to hear. Concrete solutions to real urban issues with personal data that proves a candidate credibility is what is needed.
