We need to come together as a community to benefit the children of Marblehead
With the start of another school year about a month away, we believe that the recent change in leadership will not have an immediate impact on our students.
Seven Superintendents in fifteen years and counting!
Like many of us I’ve watched the saga of another school superintendent being run out of town by the Marblehead School Committee with sadness and anger.
I heard an unfamiliar noise outside - it was music to my ears
It sounded like thin metal clinking. Followed by a gentle scritch, scritch, scritch. I glanced out the window to see the landscapers manicuring the yard next door - with rakes.
What Are We Going to Do Differently This Time
I am assuming that very shortly, if not already the school committee will make the decision to let Dr. Buckey go. I really have no way of knowing if this is a good decision or a bad one.
A great big 'thank you'!
I am thrilled with the outcome of the town elections. Boards and Committees are no longer standing still or putting things off for another meeting in the hopes the issue will be forgotten.
Marblehead parents and residents support the new School Committee
After losing back-to-back overrides and watching a completely new school committee get elected from the one that originally chose Dr. Buckey, I assumed it was a fait accompli that the newly formed committee would move on from the current leadership and go in a different direction.
Marblehead taxpayers are paying for neighboring towns to use our Transfer Station
The frustration of Marblehead residents over our financial situation has been evident over the past few years.
I am writing to urge all of us to take a collective deep breath
I don’t think anyone can observe the current climate in our community with anything but absolute heartbreak for our children, faculty and staff.
It is time to let the School Committee do its job
Over the last week, I have followed the evolving story of Superintendent Buckey’s contract negotiation with an increasing sense of dismay and disappointment as passions and emotions have clouded judgment and erased any appearance of neutrality and decorum.
I am proud of the newly elected School Committee
This is why you were overwhelmingly supported in the Polls. We believe in you.
