At this point they receive an F -

I found this article on the opinion page of the reformer . No words  could have spoken this better except I cannot agree about the SC..If you go over the past pages of this blog you will see a pattern here. Millers ability to lead in a positive manner falls short  in every position we found her in .She is aggressive  in a non positive way and a known "bully" and will be quick to throw anyone under the bus to excuse her poor leadership. .After spending the last eleven years at PVRS its hard to see what has become of our school. The last two years have been an experience that many  will never forget . It also saddens many of us that it took this SC so long to see the light and the lengths that parents, students and teachers had to go to get them to listen. I do not see a good ending for PVRS.For many who made this school strong and supportive have been dismissed. From Dayle Dorion, Sharon Jones, Mr .Wherli , Mike Duprey and now Cathy HH , and so many more .. and this SC is the reason for this demise. They pushed out Dayle Dorion and the rest is history. I would like to agree with the integrity and intelligence of the School Committee members but they have shown lack in leadership as well, by not listening to Teachers and Administration officials who came to them with concerns of Miller and were dismissed and left due to the lack of support they were given by the SC. Many changes need to be addressed and contracts bought out and begging to get our school officials back and in charge of fixing this damage if its at all possible. Miller , Bacon and the Vice Principal Jenn all must be removed . The negative impact they have had on this school is showing and school choice is now at zero and thats a big loss to PVRS  as well as parents looking elsewhere to educate their children. If this SC wants to be back in good standing its time they take a stand and show the leadership they were chosen by the people to do. At this point they receive an  F - .
Also why is the new  Superintendent Evaluation  not listed on site yet?

As a former Pioneer Valley Regional School teacher for 32 years, I am saddened to see the negative changes in the culture of the school due to the decisions and actions of the present administration. I find Superintendent Ruth Miller’s comments regarding her evaluation to be an insult to the integrity and intelligence of the School Committee members.
It’s interesting that last year when she received a “proficient” rating, she had no concerns about the evaluation tool nor the School Committee’s understanding of how to use it. Now that she received a “needs improvement” rating, she questions the process. Her comments directly relate to concerns expressed by committee members who stated that she “redirects the issues.” To suggest that the committee members are not using evidence is an unprofessional assumption on her part.
Merely reading the articles in the Recorder for the past two years has provided an abundance of public evidence of administrators’ weaknesses including the reporting of the results of a recent teacher survey, the teachers union filing of an unfair labor practice charge, and the multiple comments and concerns expressed by students, faculty, parents and community members at the monthly school committee meetings.
Going forward, I trust that the school committee will make decisions that have a positive impact on the students, faculty and public perception of PVRS.
