THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, AugusT 25, 2023 Page 5 SOUNDS OF EVERETT Time for the school board to shut down the circus and show Tahiliani the door Tuesday, Sept. 19th Pierotti, Jr. COUNCILLOR-AT-LARGE SAD SIGN: The words “Crimson Tide” spelled out in burnt brush is shown along the hillside adjacent to Everett High School among the overgrown weeds and grass. The landscape, which was once an attractive welcome sign for students and visitors to the city, is now in a sad state. (Advocate photo) By James Mitchell I t’s sad driving around Everett, once home to Everett’s Pride – its schools – as the dark days of the current school administration continue unabated with this pathetic three ring circus, with a gallery filled with clowns ranging from felons, gravelly voiced outsiders, to corrupt reporters. Driving along Elm Street, all one has to do is look at the overgrown, unkempt landscape where the letters EHS adorned the hillside, welcoming all to the once hallowed halls of Everett High School. Drive by the Whittier School and gaze upon another mess of overgrown weeds. The schools never looked this bad – ever. It appears to mirror the state of the Everett Public Schools. Just look at the MCAS scores since Priya Tahiliani took over the school district. It’s all politics – not education. It’s lawsuits – not achievements. And how did we get here – where the only thing you read about is lawsuits, school walkouts and low test scores? How could a school administrator from Boston, with neither the qualifications nor the experience to be a school superintendent, get the position as the school district’s leader? How could she have been placed on the candidate’s list without so much as a Master’s Degree in SOUNDS | SEE PAGE 12 Husband, Father, Businessman, Taxpayer Together we can do better! (Paid Pol. Adv.)
