Did you know that none of the kids at the high school had schedules until just before school started and that a lot of them didn’t get the classes they wanted? You should know these things because you hired these people. Have you heard about all of the fights? They are mainly at the high school but are happening everywhere. A couple years ago when my daughter was there they had hall monitors and internal suspension. That kept the kids safe and in school. Now those are gone and kids are getting seriously hurt. Are they going to wait until kids start bringing in knives and guns just like Boston? Kids can’t even get in to see guidance counselors because they are walking around the halls. How is that supposed to help kids apply for college or get a job? We had great schools here in Everett and you ruined it!! You went and hired someone from Boston who doesn’t know or care about our city or our kids. She has a million dollar house nowhere near us and is hiring all her friends from outside Everett. I’ve lived in Everett my whole life and I always vote. Me and other parents see what you have done to our schools and we are not happy. Get rid of this woman! She doesn’t care about us she just wants to get money for her and her friends. We are all voting soon and if you can’t do the job we can get someone else who can. Sincerely, A Concerned Parent
