SPRINGFIELD –
You guys chased away a good man.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your good work Frank.
I would say he ran away, or swam away from the sinking ship, the USS Springfield School system
DeleteLook at his most recent power point. It was full of misleading half-truths or flat out wrong. He bent us over and continues to as he dances out of town with full pay while the teachers, paras and tax payers stuggle with not enough to support the needy population of kids they are trying to teach! What is Franks pay for his 6 months of leave? What is a para's average hourly rate. It is a shame. Get rid of the other dead wood in central office. Other useless overpaid clueless administrators who do nothing to support the schools or their staff.
DeleteHe is a great man, and a compassionate administrator. This is a sad state of affairs.
DeleteSo if I get this right, we the taxpayers are paying and giving benefits to Perotti until the end of the year so he can do nothing? We will be paying him go to a conference which will not benefit Springfield School District. Plus we will be paying him for his 17 vacations days. What about all the days we paid him that he didn't come to work this year or left early? Now you really want me to vote yes on the school budget? RIGHT!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, chase away a good man? RIGHT!!!!
Nope, he's not gonna do nothing. He's going job hunting for his next victim district and this one is financing his search. Pretty typical for Springfield.
Deleteif he was such a good man he would have finish his agreed contract but instead he is laughing his way to a 4 mo vaca on the Springfield tax payer GO US
ReplyDeleteBLah blAH BLAH...
ReplyDeleteFrank is departing early to take a job with Carnival Cruise Lines, whose recent strong showings with the Costa Concordia and the Carnival Triumph are tailor made for his record as a super!
ReplyDeleteNice attempt at humor, but you failed.
DeleteAnd yet another con has taken the Springfield rubes for another tax payer spanking. Can it get any easier? I am surprised there is not a huge line of traffic stacked up on Interstate 91 trying to get to Springfield to separate the local fools from their hard earned dollars. Too bad the board has already moved on to the next con without any attempt to fix anything.
ReplyDeleteCan't be that bad, all open seats on the select board and school board are uncontested.
DeleteSounds like you are perfectly happy with the way things are going.
