OK...we will call BS when I see or hear it .
Miller states “Everybody’s really happy to have us in the school,” Does this woman EVER speak the truth?! She is here against her wishes and will make everyone in this building more miserable than needs be. If she cared about being closer than the money she pissed away on main st could of been used to resolve the previous Superintendents building. It was CLEARLY stated her first year that it was maintainable and could be fixed So don't give us the BS line we all know better. ( What do you expect them to say ? No we don't want you here? They need their JOBS!)
The room Miller chose looks alot like Cathy HH room on top floor . Look closely .. she is trying to be a martyr stating how she moved into an empty storage area. My God does she ever quit? Cathy HH had this area for many years.
Than wait for it .......Asst Superintendent and another asst to the superintendent WHAT! Gail Healy can't handle that either so we pay for an extra? Why is she here still? ( Healy and Administrative Assistant to the Superintendent Pam Lawrence have their offices in room 410, and Miller’s office is in room 414, a former storage space.) Like with previous schools we are paying out more than what is needed in Millers office. Their no way she needs two that was what Healy was for .Seems again SC not doing their JOBS and watching for abusive incomes which already are clearly out of the park.Seems if we could lessen the amount we pay these people and remove some we would of had the money to keep vital teachers in place.
In other words more BS from Miller. How can we trust someone who does not live in the same reality as the rest of us?
Were watching .
NORTHFIELD — The long-awaited move of Pioneer Valley Regional School District’s central office is complete, with administrators settling into their new home on Pioneer’s upper floor.
The School Committee approved the move to rooms 402, 403 and 407 last month, after which administrators and custodians packed and moved everything from the leased space at 168 Main St. Assistant Superintendent Gail Healy said everything was moved Thursday, with administrators using Friday to unpack.
“It’s the perfect space,” Superintendent Ruth Miller said. “It’s great for kids (and) we didn’t take anybody else’s space, it was space that was available.”( BECAUSE YOU FIRED THE TEACHERS)
The move affected four classrooms and one closet space, not simply the three rooms that were approved by the School Committee. The special education office is in room 402, payroll and accounts payable is in room 403, and technology services is in room 407. Healy and Administrative Assistant to the Superintendent Pam Lawrence have their offices in room 410, and Miller’s office is in room 414, a former storage space.
Miller explained her position requires she have a room to herself to keep meetings confidential, and with extra space available, administrators decided to make use of it.
With significant staff layoffs at the end of the 2016-2017 school year, several classrooms were available for the central office, though computer and science labs were left alone. Moving upstairs was considered the most cost-effective option, as the district wouldn’t need to spend any money installing air conditioning.
By moving back to the Pioneer campus, the district eliminates $3,030 per month in leasing costs, while allowing administrators to work more closely to students.
“Everybody’s really happy to have us in the school,” Miller said. “We’re going to be part of the culture, and I think that’s important.”
You are correct that is Cathy Hawkins Harrison room Miller is in. Why she chose to lie to the newspaper and tell them it was a storage closet is beyond me. But yes, that is Cathy's old office.
ReplyDeleteUPDATE: A retraction will be made in the Recorder . This is and was Cathy HH office ,not a storage closet that Miller wanted you to believe.
