Priya Tahiliani took over only a little while before the pandemic hit and she did get our kids computers to use pretty quick and did set up as good a graduation and senior week for our children as possible. At that point it looked like she might be good for our city. Even at the beginning of the next school year our schools seemed to be doing good even though there were clearly some problems. She and everyone else down on Vine Street seemed unavailable most of the time and the parking lot that used to be packed was empty most of the time. Neighbors and parents saw the new people who did fi nally make it to work show up late in the morning if they came in at all. This kept up even when teachers and students went back to in person learning. They were not working remotely because phone calls and emails were never answered. The Facebook School Committee meetings are a joke. Full of promises but we never see any results. Maybe you should take the time to read some of the comments. You are members of the school committee but have you forgotten that we are parent who live in this city and deal with school issues every day? We talk to each other and compare notes. What we see and hear from teachers, custodians and our children is not good at all. There does not seem to be any plan in place at any of the schools to help our kids move back to a regular school year. Our kids missed a lot of work and time with friends that makes just going back to normal really hard. Some kids couldn’t keep up at home and even the ones who could didn’t get to learn the same things their older brothers and sisters had when they were in school. There doesn’t seem to be any plan for our kids to catch up with what they missed. You would think that this team you hired would have a plan but they don’t. Have you been in any of the schools lately? They are really dirty! I know some of the custodians and they work really hard but they don’t have enough help. The high school is the worst. At PTA the other day everyone saw how dirty the fl oors are, the kids and the teachers say that by the end of the day they can’t use the bathrooms because there is no toilet paper left. They just don’t have enough help there. Say what you want about FFF but those buildings were always clean and now they are gross. The dirtiness is bad enough but kids are coming home saying that they don’t have books for some classGUEST | SEE PAGE 22 Prices subject to change Fill Up & Save! Fall is Coming! FLEET
