I put off posting this till after the holidays to get more information.
I have it on good sound information that we have teachers that are planning to leave, and are having letters of recommendations written. No, I do not know which teachers are thinking of leaving , just that they cannot take anymore .
1- Bacon is making teachers and students miserable. She does not have the ability to lead but harass and cause friction seems to be high on her can do list .
2-Also Concerning an incident that happen earlier this year in Jr High school 8th grade and how it was handled , seems to concern alot of kids and teachers in the school about Bacon and the schools resource officer ) having certain racial issues and a child being removed from the school by the parents who seemed concerned for the child's safety.
I also found it odd that the 2 white children had 5 day suspension's and 5 days in school suspensions
However , the African American child had 10 days outside of school, even after Bacon was told he was not involved .Did I mention he was also handcuffed ???? No the other two were not .
( Another lawsuit for Pioneer?)
3- I and others are also not liking the idea that certain student are being targeted
Policing in schools
Zero tolerance policies increase the number of School Resource Officers (SRO) in schools, which increases the contact a student has with the criminal justice system. Students may be referred by teachers or other administrators but most often zero tolerance policies are directly enforced by police or school resource officers.[1] The practice of increasing the number of police in schools contributes to patterns of criminalization.[21] This increase in SROs has led to contemporary school discipline beginning to mirror approaches used in legal and law enforcement. Zero tolerance policies increase the use of profiling, a very common practice used in law enforcement. This practice is able to identify students who may engage in misbehavior.Also a reliable resource told me that many students will not be returning to Pioneer next year .They feel their children are targets .
Between Bacon and Miller they are single-handedly destroying Pioneer .
Vernon's school choice might also be gone for good since it was voted down to allow them out of Act46 . However no child chose Pioneer this year from Vernon and the largest class graduates this year and others who are here might not be next year from Vernon and than what do we as taxpayers do ? That's a large sum to lose and its a reality we need to face. I was told by a few Vernon parent if it wasn't for the fact this year there kids were graduating they would remove them from Pioneer .Many have voiced concerns with the new superintendent and the principal.
So we need to ask , how much longer is the PVRS School Committee gonna allow this abuse before taking a stand?
PVRS has lot many great teachers since the beginning of Millers presence here and more are now leaving due to Bacon . Whats to happen to PVRS ??
Teachers have been told many times that their jobs are not secure for next year. So many questionable things going on in total secrecy. Probe, please. First year principal supposedly out of building on a two week vacation right now. Unheard of.
