Re: [LincolnTalk] Let's not rush choosing our new Middle School Principal

Andy,  SO maybe the point should be to have MORE parent representation, more diverse voices who might disagree with current policies and direction. From my knowledge of those involved there are many who are aligned with the same ideology of where the school sees itself moving towards in the

Re: [LincolnTalk] Let's not rush choosing our new Middle School Principal

Seth, There is a reason they made the choice, she is a smart person who deserves a spot but why is there not another parent in the town to represent different views or opinions. I would readily offer my views but I have been silenced by Becky McFall on down to the School Committee, it is all

Re: [LincolnTalk] Let's not rush choosing our new Middle School Principal

Andy, In today's email I also said "I feel strongly that It is not fair to ask a new Superintendent to make important decisions before she is a full time employee of the town." Three of the four candidates are already employed in other school systems through the end of the school year. The

Re: [LincolnTalk] Let's not rush choosing our new Middle School Principal

I think it's fair to assume that, as parents, we're all invested in our children. But I also firmly believe we need a plurality of views, because we all have valid, complementary, interests. I agree with what others have said, it is misguided to think one single voice speaks for the whole

Re: [LincolnTalk] Let's not rush choosing our new Middle School Principal

I would tend to agree with Peter’s interpretation. The decision on which applicants to review and who will be a finalist is key. The timeline seems to have been set to ensure the current leadership would set the stage for this decision, be that good or bad. I would not have used the term “bless

Re: [LincolnTalk] Let's not rush choosing our new Middle School Principal

All, I wanted to call out a nuance in Peter's email regarding the inclusion of the incoming superintendent in the process that I want to make sure people are aware of. In Becky's Dec 21 Letter From The Superintendent ( https://www.lincnet.org/Page/5798), she says this: "I hope to create a

Andy, Jessica is not a Lincoln parent nor a Lincoln resident. She is a Metco parent. I'm a bit shocked why we didn't have at least a couple of Lincoln resident parents to represent the 400+ students from the town of Lincoln. Once the Superintendent gave notice that she is retiring, the scope
