The community needs to know what is happening behind the scenes in our schools. As the recently departed Facilities Manager, I am sounding the alarm:Taxpayer Waste: I reported the theft of $20,000 in district equipment, but leadership ignored it and refused to file police reports.Safety Hazards: The Middle School auditorium is being used despite a collapsing ceiling and structural decay. It is a major liability.Unlicensed Work: The district consistently uses unlicensed labor for dangerous electrical projects, putting our kids at risk of fire and injury.Zero Oversight: When I tried to implement safety checklists and SOPs, I was told, “We don’t like checklists around here.”Our tax dollars are being wasted, and our children are being placed in unsafe buildings. It is time for the School Committee to demand a full audit of the administration and maintenance departments.

Our children all went there and got a great education and had great teachers!

Administration from the top down are disrespectful, bad at communicating with staff and families, and care more about preventing lawsuits and having positive public opinions than they do about student well being. They openly show favor towards students who have parents with high incomes. They are out of compliance with several IEPs are a consistent basis due to being short staffed but do not make any real efforts to address staffing issues (i.e. better benefits, better pay, better treatment).
