I was asked by someone to get information about Bacon and the fact that a First Year Principal is already on a vacation not for two weeks like they thought , its actually a 3 week paid vacation! It was confirmed.
Here's the problem .A freeze was put on the budget to get thru the year . Also the master schedule was NOT done correctly .
Full time teachers are supposed to teach 5 blocks a day. Some have only been given 3 or 4 blocks and then they're being thrown into overseeing kids work on portfolios and "online" classes
So our first two questions should be
1- Why was Bacon a first year principal given a 3 week vacation with pay with a frozen budget?
2- How was the master schedule messed up ?
3-An outside audit needs to be done so taxpayer are aware of what is really going on. It seems one thing is said but other things are being done with the teachers and the care of the students . I also find it appalling that the teachers are working under the stress of loss employment and income.
Teacher are getting constant messages concerning job cuts . They are working under the pressure that they may not have a job come spring . So far we know No one will be losing their jobs in the semester change but this does not in anyway relieve concerns and stress.
I do know under good reliable information teachers are having recommendation letters being written. Where does this leave PVRS losing yet more teachers who make PVRS a strong and proud school?
We are being told one thing by this School Committee and Superintendent and a whole lot of another is being done in our school.
Now , looking back in Millers past she has frozen budgets before in order for the taxpayers to back her budgets and give the money she requests .I also know she will hit taxpayers where it hurts ( arts and sports and music) to also get her budgets passed at all cost and she will take no prisoners and destroy PVRS in the process as well as towns budgets and put burdens on taxpayers.
Right now at PVRS wasteful spending is at its highest .
1- Rental of superintendent building , when in fact we have a building that could be fixed and also space in the schools themselves that could be utilized in order to help save money for the schools and taxpayers .
2- Overpaid Administration. Its off the wall a school this size paying this much for Admins.Pay cuts must be made in this area .
You can lay back and hope for the best or take a stand and speak up. I see the so called committee who is suppose to be working on the behalf of Students, Teachers and taxpayers are not only quiet but nonexistent .
