Now that Miller is leaving (and three years to damn late) is the time to ensure that the next Superintendent stepping up is one that is good for PVRS and holds our values, something Miller never did . The destruction from her stay here will be felt for awhile to come.
Stay involved!! Go to the meetings , do your homework ,get names of who they are looking at , go on the internet, go to the schools and ask around , don't depend on the School Committee . ( Lord knows you cannot expect this SC to do what is in the best interest of PVRS or she would of been gone the first year). Bring your concerns to the table, make them public , we cannot allow another disaster to walk in this school. Now is your time PVRS to right a wrong that has been done to us and our teachers and children.
As for you SC we are very aware of you watching this blog and I promise you we are gonna make sure the next person to step into our school is worthy of our school. This one won't be a cake walk like your last disaster. So dot them i's and cross them t's because we are here to ensure that what is best for PVRS comes to PVRS. This is your time to make amends and undo what you have done to our schools. Its also time for you to make sure whatever is ahead is able to talk to school choice to get them to once again believe in our schools and what is taught here. You made this mess now its up to you to fix it. FYI next up is new Principal . Bacon also is not good for our school or Perry and unless we see changes they too need to go.
Its time PVRS takes back our schools and its now!
WE ARE WATCHING YOU !
NORTHFIELD — In their first meeting to discuss replacing Superintendent Ruth Miller, Pioneer Valley Regional School District’s Superintendent Search Committee decided to scope out the possibility of sharing administrators with another school district.
The search committee was formed as a result of Miller’s June announcement that she won’t be looking to negotiate a new contract once her current three-year contract is up. If nothing changes, Miller’s last day as superintendent will be June 30.
The five members of the committee are Patricia Shearer, John Rodgers, Jim Bell, Peggy Kaeppel and William Wahlstrom. With all present but Rodgers, the committee overwhelmingly agreed Thursday that the best path for the district is to try to work out some sort of shared superintendent and central office staff arrangement on an interim basis while considering opportunities for sharing central office staff long term.
Each member was assigned a school district to contact to gauge interest in sharing superintendents, business managers or other services on an interim basis. Districts include Frontier Regional School District, the Ralph C. Mahar Regional School District, the Gill-Montague Regional School District, Franklin County Technical School, the Mohawk Trail Regional School District and Greenfield School Department.
The group also began drafting a letter, which members will share at Thursday’s School Committee meeting, to send as a follow-up to phone calls to each district.
“I don’t think the same old model is what we need right now,” Wahlstrom agreed.
The four search committee members agreed an interim arrangement would allow time to find the right long-term solution, considering a crunch in time between now and the end of Miller’s contract.
“This is a big deal,” Shearer said. “We don’t want to end up with someone who doesn’t meet our specifications.”
“The idea of an interim sounds pretty good to me, so we have time to make a good decision,” Bell agreed.
The Superintendent Search Committee will meet again to report back on their conversations with other districts on Tuesday, Nov. 7 at 7 p.m. at Pioneer.
