School Committee Meeting Tonight

The PVRS School Committee is tonight  @ 7 pm. Make sure you get there early for seating .
Call , email, or text  all residents of  Northfield, Bernardston, Lyden, Warwick, and School choice . (Vernon make sure you attend this, it's  about your taxes as well.) We also welcome Winchester, NH to attend You might wanna know what your getting into before a decision is made.

Some of the things  that need answering are .

1- Why is Millers building report $25,000.00 more than Dayle Dorions? Compare Dayle Dorions last report  to Millers. No way these numbers could jump like this.

2- Where  or what happen to $460,000.00 in  missing funds , or as Miller  stated SHORT FALL that was reported  Sept 2015 but not corrected when facts  of  your ( Millers) mistake came to light? You felt the need to run to the media  with this , but not to correct it .Why?

On  Tuesday, March 01, 2016 at the budget committee meeting you were told the  budget for next school year would be up by 2.5 percent over this year.
“I hate this budget. I don’t like this budget. This would be the last budget on this Earth that I would want to put in front of you,”Miller said. ( sorry can't stop  laughing so hard because I read this same statement on a Templeton site .  ) Let me make this clear to all of you , its only gonna get worst with her , and when she  wants something passed she will use your compassion for the kids. Its a matter of time  before you will face her cutting  sports . You've been warned . By the way was the $460,000.00 missing Short Fall mentioned? I did see a parent who stated this  at the meeting.
“They cut all the instructional assistants, except for their one-on-ones, in every elementary school,” she said. “I was one of them. We pulled our kids. We said, ‘We don’t want our kids in those schools. They are not getting the help they need.’”How long before others do the same or worst yet  you lose  school choice . What is gonna wake this SC up?



( I also  put into question why you  are trying to  discredit Dayle Dorion ? )

3- Whatever happen with the Consultant firm that was hired  to help proceed after Mr Werhli left ? Miller  had this done yet nobody has seen the recommendation report in March or as of today. Did the SC even get a report? If so why was this also not released to the teachers ?

4-Why was Bill Werhli  forced to give his resignation? Yes, I said forced.

5-Why are teachers afraid of reprisals or loss of jobs if they speak up?

6- Why did Mr Duprey  feel he had no choice but to also give his resignation?

It seems with just 4,5,6 above we are seeing  the same pattern  that she had in Hampton as a Principal , Templeton as a Superintendent and now here . 

Abuse of power
Bullying
Unable to get along with others
The lack of ability to lead
Lying  and manipulative

As for the SC -
1- After being told  that the committee  was against the hiring of Miller why did you not open up a new search?

2-Why were no exit interviews being done to see why a long time Principal , Vice Principal, Special Ed teacher and IT tech suddenly leave in the middle of the school year  or give a  resignation ? A taxpayer  made this request .

3- Why didn't  the SC  report to the media about the so called short Fall? Why would you keep that information  private ? This is a big concern for taxpayers.

4-Why is it we have more information on a Superintendent that you hired than you do?

Two different names - Leveille- Miller

Than different timelines  for experience

First its 21 years  when hired at PVRS

NORTHFIELD, MA — The Pioneer Valley Regional School District has picked a new superintendent.

The School Committee will soon begin to work out a contract with Ruth Miller, the current superintendent of the Narragansett Regional School District.

Miller has 21 years in education. She’s been superintendent of Narragansett for three years, and was associate superintendent for three years before that. She has also served as principal for 10 years, and held other educational jobs for five years. Her district covers Templeton and Phillipston, with three elementary schools, a middle school and high school.

 But it was 24 years in 2010  @ Boston School Funding Examiner  that's her pic .

10 years as a principal? 
3 years in Hampton NH 
3 year as a assistant principal at Pembroke Academy
The numbers don't add up.

 What exactly did you check ?

Your credibility  with the people  who elected you is being  questioned . No amount of excuses  will  correct the damage  that has occurred at PVRS this last year .I can also promise you that the damage  Miller can do to PVRS and  these towns will take years to come out of. Your playing Russian Roulette  with alot of peoples lives . We have done what you did not do , a history check .  People want action and answers.
I have three  questions for you , How  could you allow this to happen to Mike Duprey  who has been loyal to you and this school for 26 years? How was it so easy for you to destroy a mans career that you have known  for years even knowing the truth as to why he is leaving , and you  do know the truth , thats a true fact and just what do you think these people  will think when it comes out? Do you have any loyalty at all? $200,000.00 is what it will cost to  make this right and you know that is also a fact. How you people sleep at night is just baffling .

                                             I can promise you we are not going anywhere .
