DO NOT and I mean DO NOT let Pat Shearer get away with playing this " I didn't know the game". YES, SHE DID! Pat has known since May 2015 what was in front of her, she heard from parents, teachers, Admins, and TEMPLETON MASS AS WELL. She was warned to watch the budget under Miller and instead of listening to US she hired her as a BUDGET MGR as well. She was told NOT to hire her to open a new search but she settled even against recommendations NOT to. She was warned not to let Mike Duprey go or Cathy HH and others if so she would lose school choice. Mike Duprey and others warned Pat what was going on in the school and what did she do? She ignored him, allowed Careers to be destroyed and gave Miller a raving report! Thousands of dollars were given in raises as teachers were being given pink slips, LOOK AT THE BUDGETS! She was warned in 2016 that PVRS would lose over 500,000.00 when the kids from school choice would graduate, again ignored. She was warned no child would choose this school with how it was now being run, she ignored it. Vernon has the students but parents and kids do not want to use it. Which FYI prior to this was what 96% of kids choice. You have ZERO from school choice this year. Millers first year was spent lying to the community by newspapers and was even called out on it. No, Pat, you will not walk away from this - you lied to parents, teachers, taxpayers, and even the IR of Mass. You are unfit to be in this position and YOUNG as well and NO we will not let you. Check out the blog on the school it's all there from the beginning. Suggestion PVRS get Duprey and Cathy HH back it's your only hope to save this school.
“The majority of us did not have any idea until Mary Jane Handy came out from (the Department of Revenue) and spoke to us (in May). At that point, I became aware,” Shearer said. “I’m not sure if other people on the committee knew or not, but as chair, I did not know.”
In retrospect, Shearer said, poor communication with former Superintendent Ruth Miller, who also served as the district’s business manager, had a strong hand in creating this situation.
FOR THE SAKE OF PVRS SHEARER AND THIS COMMITTEE MUST BE REMOVED.
