NK residents BLAST school committee, then are ignored

2 years ago

Ramona Bessinger admonished the committee for the "lowering of boundaries" when it came to the safety of student and for the marginalization of parents. She further faulted the school committee members for creating the divisiveness and "mess that has been created in this school district."

Jim McGwin took it even further, not only stating directly to the woke  committee members that "you are the problem", but also suggesting that parents and town residents have so much distrust, that all school committee members should "recuse themselves" from the superintendent search process and establish and independent search committee.

The school committee members ignored the suggestion and immediately moved to hire the consulting firm suggested by the Chairman. During the discussion, member Jennifer Lima suggested the selected firm may not have provided a strong enough "diversity" response in their application. She voted to hire them.

  • Why weren't their hundreds of parents speaking up? Two familiar faces are great but only crowds can shout loud enough.

  • more parents were not present because it’s school vacation week- and likely no coincidence that they scheduled this meeting while parents and families are away- that’s who we have running our town. they don’t want community input so they plan a meeting when most can’t attend🤬
