This superintendent needs to go. What is wrong with the SC not to let her go?
Has anyone else noticed that good teachers are leaving in droves?

No smart teachers are leaving in droves...
President Trump needs to come to 02176 and let Mrs. Cyndi Taymore superintendent of Melrose schools that she is fired.
That has to be the funniest remark I have read in a long time.
Ms. Taymore should be leaving.Not the teacher;s.
This superintendent needs to go.It is time fire her.
How about a very public parent petition, which we know will make CT crazy and bring out her fangs, but so what? Why not, if it exposes the problem and gets the public to understand just how corrupt the whole "chain of command" actually is? Other communities do this sort of stuff routinely? Why not here?
The school committee did make a mistake.It is time to Call for the resignation of Cyndy Taymore.
More staff leaving the High School and new teachers will come in and not know a dam thing.

Here's the website. File a complaint about the very obvious FERPA violations. In the past the "Program Quality Assurance" department was a bad joke, totally in the bag with administrators statewide. However, it's maybe worth a try. In the past the staff attorneys were mostly those hired by Weld, and they were wed to the Driscoll model, meaning that no complaint against an administrator would be given a fair shake and parents nearly always lost. Only those who hired an attorney could hope to prevail, and many eventually did. But it might be better now. Doubtful, but there are so few avenues, it is worth a try, or should be, since children's well-being and privacy have definitely been compromised by the unethical bunch of creeps running the district.
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?
The school committee did make a mistake.It is time to Call for the resignation of Cyndy Taymore.
We all belong to the schools because our property taxes fund it.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?Make good decisions?
It is time to Call for the resignation of Cyndy Taymore.
The school committee will not let her go and admit they made a mistake.Did I miss anything?

MBM is the perfect henchman for CT who has driven away some of the district's best-ever educators, including NI, who was abused and threatened with punitive action simply for doing her job and standing up for what students need.
KM was never a particularly nice person but was a competent teacher. No doubt she, like so many others (not only at Roos, but certainly there in that chronically mismanaged hellhole), was pushed to the snapping point by a regime that is without scruples or basic understanding of what being a teacher is supposed to mean.
It's no better Ms. PerkyBouncyWindowTreatments JC or Mr. RageMachine MCAD-Generator BC or Mr Blond SS Babblemouth at W, or Ms FileRestrainingOrdersOn10-year-olds at HM or Ms OopsDidn'tMeanToCallDCFonInnocentParentsToDestroyTheirFamilies at L. This chaos has been going on for more than 4 years (more actually, Joe's regime was totally awful in a different kind of way).
Don't get too excited about misbehaving principals in Melrose. In many instances, the city solicitor and the superintendent are directing principals to file false reports against parents and children with the Department of Children and families (DCF), Melrose Police Department, and locals courts, all in an effort to intimidate retaliate against them. sure it is a crime under state and federal laws, but it is often very effective in getting parents to stand down from their complaints. FYI, I didn't realize the HM principal was still around after being caught filing a false police report against parents and their child right after they had complained about an out of control member of her teaching staff. She must have a special relationship with CT. Most educators lose their license/certification and job after pulling such a stunt. But of course, this IS Melrose, where corruption at the highest levels is alive and well.

The superintendent needs to go with all her friends.
None of the administrators have any sense of what they're doing or are supposed to do. They are all first-timers in the jobs. No real experience, no perspective and zero humility.
The superintendent needs to go with all her friends.
Starting working in Wakefield 2015 and its the best move I ever did for myself. Melrose employees are so depressing and butt-kissers.
What is so alarming is that now, thousands of nosy people that read the Free Press have been alerted they can now peruse the MPS website and view the private student information, whereas before the article appeared, only a couple of dozen people, including school committee members may have accessed the information. All thanks to Taymore's carelessness in lying to the reporter that they "took immediate corrective actions as soon as we became aware of it." when in fact, no corrective actions had taken place. Meanwhile, four years worth of students' private information is publicly available on the MPS website to any snoop who cares to look.This superintendent needs to go. What is wrong with the SC not to let her go?Taymore did her usual dancing around the issue and claimed a "computer glitch" implying this was a one-time little blip, totally disrespecting the concern about what amounts to another violation of federal law, this time FERPA.It is feb 26.2017. Change the school superintendent .
It's amazing how things change
When people let you down.
Worked the middle and high school and went to Wakefield in 2011-2012 and its a better place. The staff are more friendly and the schools are happy and no more gossip!
Most people use one screen name and make multiple comments. You use multiple screen names and make one comment ad nauseam. Enough already.
you not been paying attention.
How about a very public parent petition, which we know will make CT crazy and bring out her fangs, but so what? Why not, if it exposes the problem and gets the public to understand just how corrupt the whole "chain of command" actually is? Why not here?This is Melrose Mass 02176.
Why the lack of transparency? Do they not want the public to know nothing.
What did you teach, Alternative English I? Enough already.
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.
