YES, lets talk about the kids
After careful consideration I think we have no other choice but to do a recall. Mike should be at the door in the fall for kids . For most of these kids especially in the upper grades this is gonna be traumatic for them coming into school with 2 new principals and a resource officer . This school will feel totally alien to these kids . SO YOUR RIGHT LETS THINK OF THE KIDS.
We have a school committee wanting us to accept there way or no way and a superintendent who has done nothing but kill the morale of this school. DO NOT EVER let me hear you again blame this on teachers when in FACT it was because of kids this blog was created, so YOU GET OVER IT, just like Miller told the teachers!
Take a look back at the video of Mike saying good bye to these kids , do they look happy to you ? To many kids have voiced how unhappy they are and instead of listening you have shut them out .
These kids deserve to be happy and feel secure in school and in this last year they DID NOT .I talked with many of these kids and they feared everyday someone else would leave and when it happen and it was Mr Duprey they were devastated .
We have put information in front of this SC committee and have shown them article after article . Teachers have spoken to committee members and they did NOTHING to step in and stop the abuse . Don't let this SC say they were not spoken to , especially you Pat .
The SC has tied our hands and pushed us into a corner with no other options. For myself and others we do not feel that they are "putting the kids first".
The only real option we have in front of us is a recall to suspend mainly 2 of the school committee members possibly 3. Two considering there actions Thursday night due to their behavior was clearly not acceptable what so ever . We also feel that Pat should not head this committee, she has made it clear with the others that the KIDS are not being put first.
To resolve this would be to reinstate Mike Duprey and bring Dayle Dorion in to answer questions as to why after all these years she would choose to resign as well. If the answer is this SC ( and its looking that way ) than we need to do the recall and put more responsible people on the committee who do put the children first and teachers . This SC has shown over and over neglect of the feelings of the kids and the school and its destruction basically . We will also accept a separation agreement of superintendent Miller as well immediately . If she has any self respect she would volunteer to step forward on her own. Why would you want to be somewhere you are clearly not wanted? How can you possibly be productive in a hostile environment which by the way you created. That's totally mindless and shows beyond a shadow of a doubt how little these kids mean to you .
WE ARE GOING NOWHERE REINSTATE MIKE DUPREY
After the meeting the other night I did not see what I wanted to see concerning the kids. I felt that they were not even considered. I felt dismissed and like I wasn't even in the room.
