THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 2022 Page 3 School Supt. Dr. Kelley earns high marks on evaluation By Adam Swift S uperintendent of Schools Dr. Dianne Kelly received high marks from the School Committee on her latest performance evaluation. State school committees are required to conduct a public review of their district’s superintendent of schools, produce an evaluation report and work with the superintendent to defi ne and/or refi ne the superintendent’s annual performance plans and goals for the coming year. The evaluation consists of two parts, one which focuses on the progress towards the superintendent’s stated goals and one which looks at standards in broad categories of skills and performance relative to the work of the superintendent. Previously, the School Committee approved goals for Kelly in the areas of professional practice, student learning and student improvement, according to School Committee Member Stacey Bronsdon-Rizzo. “We feel Dr. Kelly has met her professional practice, student learning, and district improvement goals,” said Bronsdon-Rizzo. “Dr. Kelly approaches her role as a leader for the Revere Public Schools with fi delity and high standards and expectations. She has obviexemplary leader for our school district and she is tireless in her advocacy on behalf of the children and families of our community.” Kelly was rated profi cient in the standards of instructional leadership, management and operations, family and community communication and professional culture. Mayor Brian Arrigo thanked DR. DIANNE KELLY Supt. of Schools ously devoted much time and energy towards achieving her professional goals and providing the committee with supporting evidence, demonstrating the attention to detail with which she approaches every aspect of her role in the district.” Bronsdon-Rizzo said Kelly’s visionary leadership creates an equitable and inclusive school community to meet the needs of all students. “Enough can’t be said about her leadership, along with our mayor, in building a new Revere High School complex,” she said. “Whether it has been Covid, the Revere High School program meetings, or the new administrator search at Revere High, she has always included the community for input. Dr. Kelly continues to be an BBB warns of moneyflipping scams M oney-flipping cons have long been popular on Instagram and Twitter. But as TikTok’s popularity grows, so do the con artists. Watch out for this TikTok scam, which promises to turn a few hundred dollars’ worth of cryptocurrency into thousands in no time at all. BBB is seeing many new reports in BBB Scam Tracker related to this money-fl ipping scam. Here’s what you need to know. How the scam works You are scrolling through TikTok when you come across a video showing a pile of cash. The creator says they earned the stack of money in just a few days by investing in cryptocurrency. You may not know much about cryptocurrency, but this “investor” can help you get the same kind of return for a modest fee. Better yet, they have a 100% guarantee that they can triple your money in less than a week. When you contact the supposed investor, likely through WhatsApp, Telegram, or another messaging app, they will be polite and professional. They will ask you to send money – usually, a few hundred dollars to start – through a digital wallet service like PayPal, Zelle or Venmo. They may even ask you to purchase the cryptocurrency yourself and send it to them. Then, they “invest” your money in the stock market, where it allegedly starts multiplying right away. As always, the scam isn’t what it seems. When you try to get your money back, the scammer will claim you need to pay fees. At fi rst, these amounts may seem harmless. Since your few hundred dollars now turned into a few thousand, what’s the harm in spending a couple hundred in fees, right? Scammers try to extend this con for as long as possible to get as much money as they can. They may ask for fees several times, always promising you will get much more back than what you are spending. If you question them, they may resort to scare tactics, telling you that if you don’t pay, you’ll miss out on the giant return or that they can take legal action. Unfortunately, any money you send will end up in the scammer’s pockets. You won’t be getting a return on your investment, and SCAMS | SEE Page 4 Kelly for her partnership with the city administration. “I have the opportunity to meet with and talk to a lot of other folks that are in my position, and I hear the challenges that many of them face with their districts and with the schools in general,” said Arrigo. “To have such a leader as Dr. Kelly on our behalf is an immense help for me and she has been an incredible partner.” Kelly thanked the mayor and members of the School Committee for their kind words and the time they put into the evaluation. “I know it is not an easy task, any educator will tell you that the evaluation system in the public schools is always a bit daunting, both for the person being evaluated, but also for the people doing the evaluation,” said Kelly. “I will certainly take the feedback from the surveys from the evaluation forms Join us at our ~ FLEA MARKET ~ JACK SATTER HOUSE 420 Revere Beach Boulevard, Revere (Next to Kelly’s Roast Beef) SUNDAY, OCT. 2 * 10 AM to 2 PM BARGAINS GALORE!
