Yesterday I received a postcard from Bill Marble endorsing John Callahan & John McMahon for the two school committee seats on today's ballot. I am writing to ask that you do NOT vote for them.
Their postcard said "We need to effectively explore regionalization and obtain balanced credible data on the associated costs."
Well, I have lived in Holbrook for over 20 years. Regionalization has already been discussed, examined, studied and investigated several times. This is not a new idea!
The postcard also said," Collaboration with other Boards in Holbrook, open forums for residents concerns and effective coordination with potential partners, will be the key to ensuring our decisions about regionalization serve the best interest of the students and taxpayers."
To this I say, THERE HAVE BEEN OPEN FORUMS AND DISCUSSIONS! The school committee meetings, parent group meetings, the school building committee meetings, etc. are open to the public. Have John McMahon or John Callahan ever attended any of these meetings? Have they sent their children to any of the Public Schools? When is the last time they have been inside or toured the public schools? Have they met with teachers or administrators to hear from them what's right or wrong with our schools? Have they attended any plays, concerts, games, graduations, National Honor Society inductions, art shows or anything else recently?
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and my opinion is that they are NOT he right people to serve on our School Committee.
Sincerely,
Karen Santorelli
