Teachers are the experts on quality education, not administrators, not school committee members and certainly not their attorneys. Marblehead Public Schools thrived when we had administrators and school committee members who provided leadership and support that empowered our teachers and students to excel.
The citizens of Marblehead had no problem passing overrides and funding schools when we had leaders whose behavior showed respect for teachers, students and families. As parents, we need to stand with our educators and students. Our elected school committee members, administrators and their attorneys should also remember that they work for us.
Continuing to botch the oversight and administration of our schools is unacceptable. Do your job and get a fair contract done this weekend.
