This school board member never voted to force any accountability by this superintendent when she took egregiously inappropriate actions to protect the teacher, further victimize the student.

Especially after the office of civil rights investigations of Melrose schools, Taymore has little credibility on discrimination issues.
Not to mention that Taymore falsely claimed to the Melrose Free Press that she had removed students' personal information violative of Federal FERPA laws, Massachusetts Privacy of School Records Laws: Their names, and outplacements and tuition costs, all still available on the IQM2 page on the school's website for all the snoopers to see. Would you want the whole city to know your child goes to a facility called Home for Little Wanderers or the Justice Resource Institute?
And where has Margaret and the School Committee been during these many months of open and egregious violations of State and Federal Laws?? Surely they were aware of the news article disclosing this serious violation. Did Margaret and her cabal ever care to even check to see that the violative information about our students is still up on there own website? Did our crack legal council and city solicitor ever follow up to ensure the information was in fact removed?? What is wrong with these idiots?? And why have they not fired the Superintendent and City solicitor for gross negligence and potentially exposing the city to multiple law suits? Who exactly is running the asylum??
The reality is parents are working all day long, raising families and simply don't have the time to get involved anymore, never mind get to SC meetings only to get abused by Margaret Driscoll and Rob Dolan. The days of single earner households that can support a family and the 9 to 5 job is over.
CT must have been asleep when she hired the principals in the city here its a laughing place and shameful.
The superintendent needs to go with all her friends.Change the school superintendent .

CT won the battle and more people are leaving. It only hurts your children in the city. So much taxes and discuss that is happening in most of the schools. Principals don't care about staff only parents and mostly PTO ones.
This private student data is still on IQM2 on the school website and SC website? Taymore told the Free Press MONTHS AGO that she took immediate corrective action when alerted that they were in violation of Family Education Records and Privacy Act (FERPA). Presumably that means she took the private student information down. Apparently, she lied. Or was this another computer glitch??
All the weirdo's in the schools are acting out. Staff can't tell who's sincere the principal's, secretaries, paras, custodians, teachers or nurses. I can't understand who's butt-kissing who anymore. So much going on in the high school and no one wants to say its a problem.
This superintendent needs to go.It is time fire her.
More staff leaving the HS at the end of the year. Not enough support from the school, and administration.
LittleBigManRobbie, VanThePompousDunce, GavelingMadge, GoBacktothePlantationCyndy--they'd all be perfect in the Trump administration and would fit right in with the incompetent, lying, malevolent SOBs destroying the country.
Only an ignorant fool, perhaps as malicious, dishonest and self-serving as those now in charge, could propose that "giving him a chance" is a reasonable proposition. With the plethora of actual facts that this administration has misrepresented already, it's amazing that anyone, let alone anyone that has pretentious of being intelligent, could believe this BS still.
Throughout his career, from the casino business to Trump University, to his construct projects that rip off thousands of working folks and their small businesses, Trump has been nothing but a con man.
And again he conned the uneducated to vote against their own interests, and this moral failure is directly harming themselves and their own families. Just look at the winners and losers of his current edicts.
This string needs to die!
It is truly amazing and alarming that the Melrose schools superintendent can be actively and knowingly in violation of the law for over six months and not be fired by the school committee. Truly amazing, but again this is Melrose, where Civil Rights and respect for the law and children's rights take a seat in the back of the bus.
This is a teachers worst nightmare a 2 hour delay. Kids are so off and not helpful to the teachers. CT should try being in the schools to see what goes on nothing. In our school the kids never learn a thing because its not long enough the blocks.
Melrose officials knowingly violating privacy laws that hurt children and then continue to take no action even though they have publically lied, claiming that they did? This is lawyer's paradise for suing the City and School Department for damages. The school's legal counsel and city solicitor should know this but has done nothing. Isn't that special? The Parents of the children exposed in the Melrose Schools Webpages are probably lining up Attorney Robert K. Crabtee right now. Another slap in the face to Melrose taxpayers who will pay for attorneys to defend these fools and the eventual settlement amount.
Get out if you can because sad days are coming for the city of Melrose.
Sped teachers if it passes then you will need to teach a class so start looking to be a classroom teacher.
Your taxes are going to the lawsuits the school has brought to the city. So much happened when Cyndi and Naomi hung out together. Management and union presidents should not be hanging out with each other that's a conflict of interest. Like so many of the teachers and paras are doing to get what they want and do.[Wacko]
The one that none of them can hide a major scandal.So may be it is time for the Call for the resignation of Cyndy Taymore.
What a brilliant idea. You should have mentioned this long ago!
The SC added 3 more years to CT contract. Dolan should not be a part of the SC. Why is he leaving this city in such enormous debt?
Thinking before you speak or do something. It's about knowing that every day, the choices we make can and will affect our lives. It's about being accountable for our choices in life. We have the right to make our decisions every day, and every day is a new day. But will the school committee make good decisions and the superintendent Cyndy Taymore?
The super is having paras fill out a survey's about how the schools and principals are doing. If you want to take it privately you need to fill in 50 letters to get to fill it out what a joke. If you want the school to see your email its just www/ mass edu/edeval/part 111 appx B/ Principal are telling the paras to go on and brag how well the school and principals are doing another joke all to protect themselves.
The City of Melrose has a long way to go with all the legal fees first. The SC is more to blame than the superintendent. Our School Committee is Cyndi's boss and has the power to let her go at anytime. What has to happen for someone to read into this major problem in Melrose. CT hired all the principals since she has been in Melrose.
The survey is going to the superintendent. What person is going to say the school sucks and the principal too. They have your email because it was sent to you. This is how Melrose works so no more lawsuits. The city is intimidating the staff and the butt-kissers are writing what the city wants to hear.
Melrose should do a survey to the passed year employers who left the district. Instead management only emails the butt-kissers in the system. The butt-kissers are NOT asked to do extra duties or to leave the child they are with.[Confused]
Mayor Dolan was warned by a very important person to not take CT and MA and then said you will be sorry. Mayor Dolan didn't listen and now the schools in Melrose aren't at the standard grade level. Explaining that teachers are not applying themselves in the work force. I am sure Mayor Dolan hears those words over and over again.
The reality is parents are working all day long, raising families and simply don't have the time to get involved anymore, never mind get to SC meetings only to get abused by Margaret Driscoll and Rob Dolan. The days of single earner households that can support a family and the 9 to 5 job is over.
So MASC is rewards a school committee chair who is currently responsible along with the superintendent of schools of:
Actively in violation of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. § 1232g laws for illegally disclosing student personal information (names, outplacements and tuition costs of SPED students) on the school committee website and then further failing to remove the prohibited information after falsely assuring the public in the local paper that the information had been removed.
Repeatedly mistreating Melrose citizens speaking during public comment period (you can witness this on MMTV school committee reruns for yourself).
Did I miss anything?How come we putting up with it?
Attention parents. Lesson to be learned: Change.Just think about the fact.Respect The Rights Of Others. Treat others as you want to be treated, everyone has a right to live in the same world you live in. If only that was true in the schools in Melrose.Lesson to be learned: Change.Sorry...don't depend on newspapers uncovering this type of corruption - Bringing these issues to light might affect housing pricing and sales!
They were forewarned by former school committee member Carrie Kourkomelis but did not heed her warnings.
It's amazing how things change
When people let you down.
Come on - plagarizing a message board post?
Hate to say it but voters did this to themselves. They allowed and continue to allow Mayor Dolan, Margaret Driscoll Superintendent Taymore and the Gutless SC members get away with using tax payer money set aside to teach children and instead, diverted it to the tune of almost $1000 a month to a "fake news" PR Agency to spin lies, create fake awards for Melrose SC members and administrators under scrutiny or investigation by the Feds and State investigators. Just like their advertisements say: "Guilfoil Public Relations: "FOR THOSE WHO NEED IT MOST". PR, media, and CRISIS MANAGEMENT for police, fire, government, and small business. WHEN YOU NEED HELP, Call John Guilfoil". These people had a lot of misdeeds to cover up.
A reminder, no one publically exposed a child's personally identifiable information here, except the school committee and superintendent of schools. They have publically acknowledged the unlawful action and falsely claimed publicly that they had removed the information. They all( the superintendent, SC chair, Mayor Dolan, city solicitor and all SC members) have been made aware the information is still on IQM2 and have defiantly decided not to take it down even though they are in violation of State and Federal laws that protect children and their identities. This reckless and illegal behavior is harming children and their families every day it is still publicly available.
