WHAT IS GOING ON!!! TELL US NOW!!!
Currently, the mayor has been cutting the school budget left and right with major effects on the backs of our children!! Also, rather than allowing Dana Brown to be considered as Superintendent, the 13 year principal that turned around Malden High School to be in the top 50 in the state, instead he got boxed out with total disregard!! OUTRAGE!!!
Take action with Malden Citizens United, a grassroots effort by the Malden Public concerned about where the direction of the city is going, most particularly in the search for the new Superintendent. Dana Brown should be our next Superintendent and we want him to be seriously considered by the Mayor and officials. PUT HIM INTO THE RUNNING!!!
As a community, the people of Malden would like a chance to address the School Committee regarding the Interim Superintendent Process. We are asking on MONDAY JUNE 20, 2016 that the vote by the School Committee, to decide between one of the two finalists, be delayed until after the School Committee meeting on June 27, 2016 so that Dana Brown can rightfully be considered.
Concerns include:
*The speed at which the process moved (8 days)
**The exclusion of a viable candidate
***The School’s Committee’s now limited voting options
between the two finalists
There are many citizens in this City who value our public schools. The impending vote for Interim Superintendent on MONDAYJUNE 20th can be and should be delayed until the OUR VOICE can be fully heard on June 27th.
WE are all concerned about the BUDGET………
Cuts (Where is all the money going?)
- This year alone at the High School:
- Athletic Director GONE!
- STEM Director GONE!
- Humanities Director GONE!
- ELL Director GONE!
- High School Book Budget (Now at $0)
- Past few years at High School:
- Language Director GONE!
- ALL English Director GONE!
- Middle School Librarians GONE!
- 2 High School secretaries GONE!
- For all schools
o Stipend Positions GONE!
o Para-professional teaching position GONE!
o Bus travel for students to other schools GONE!
BUDGET CUTS! BUDGET CUTS! BUDGET CUTS!
That’s all we ever hear!
Please let the Mayor and your School Committee representative (see reverse) know NOW that a final School Committee vote for Interim Superintendent should be delayed until after the June 27th meeting of the School Committee. [See below for their contact information]
