Another year of Taymore???

I heard Taymore got a year extension. Her last three year contract would have her leaving by June 30, 2018, this being her final year. So is it now 06-30-19? Please, please tell me it isn't so. :(

St. John's Prep is worth every cent.....,.

Re: Another year of Taymore???

Pay more will be 70 when she retires which is the same age as Trump was when elected President. Both are old, incompetent, manipulative, amoral, and narcissistic. Anyone who lets Trump or Taymore get away with their unconscionable behavior and choices deserves what they get.

Hey stupid! This topic is schools - not politics! Can't you wacko liberals keep these topics straight? Does everything have to be political in your life - please get a life!

Re: Another year of Taymore???

I agree with you keep politics out of Melrose messages. Before I end this post President Obama was only a great speaker. President Trump has done more than Obama did the 8 years he were in office. Also, did not hear Taymore has another year. Check your information before you post.

Re: Another year of Taymore???

In the sage words of Hannah Arendt, "the Holocaust resulted neither from a confluence of circumstances beyond human control nor from history’s inexorable march. It happened because ordinary people failed to stop it."

On a smaller (much smaller but every bit as real) scale, Melrose ordinary citizens continue to fail to stop the evils that start at the top of our city governance. Not only do they fail to stop it, they actively put up barriers, like telling people to "keep politics out of Melrose messages," which is the height of ridiculous. There is no place for real dialogue among Melrose places of governance under Dolan, Driscoll/SC, and this joke of a BOA, so this message board is about the only place left. Shame on you, "agree"!

Obama was only a great reader. He can read speeches in front of a crowd with the best of them. When asked questions point blank all you hear is uh uh uh uh. He was just a puppet for the real leaders behind the DNC. And he still is.

Let's get one thing straight - Obama was a professor who became President - he had no great skills other than to pander, read a teleprompter, say "I'm sorry for America" to every dictator, tyrant, and totalitarian government, and giving our enemies, billions of dollars to create havoc and chaos around the world! That's his real legacy! He did nothing for the blacks and minorities other than increase their food stamps, give them Obama phones, pay them not to work, and claimed he couldn't help them out of poverty by his actions!

Re: Another year of Taymore???

Obama, when he ran for president, his background was, he ran a community. Had not enough experience and people voted for him. He and Michelle made it more prejudice in the world than ever. I feel if this were Clinton's, Kennedy's, Obama's and more they would not treat the president like this. Everyone of their children would never be treated how Ivanka is targeted. The DEMs need to chill this is real people and what is good for one should be the same for all.

Re: Another year of Taymore???

This is false information, where did the poster get this news that, CT is staying another year?

Re: Another year of Taymore???

Illiterate nonsense:
"Everyone of their children would never be treated how Ivanka is targeted."

It's ignorant foolishness like this that demonstrates best what kind of people voted for Trump.

Sure, defend the billionaire daughter whose factories in China (not America) treat employees no better than slaves and who herself is married to someone under criminal investigation! Defend the daughter whose father-in-law did time as a felon for heinous acts, and who might very well end up doing time along with her criminal, treasonous family members. Go ahead and keep defending these Nazi collaborators. Melrose is a hotbed for this kind of foolishness, as is obvious to anyone who's every watched what passes for SC or BOA meetings.

Get off the Russian accusations, we want to move on! Hillary lost and they can not take it.

It worries me to know that there are people in Melrose that think like this person..but what do you expect from the Democrat liberal left wing of the party! If this group ever takes over again - we are doomed! Please people - come to your senses and vote Republican in this state so that we can get rid of the liberal left!

Re: Another year of Taymore???

Perhaps "Agree" and "Redux" can lead their own White Rage rally on the Melrose Common and wave some swastika pompoms while wearing their own Make Melrose Great Again hats. The sickness under President Bannon grows stronger here among these creeps in our own burb who feel empowered to show more of their ugly true agendas. Sadly the local fanatic Hillaryites are corrupt and horrid, also. They hold and abuse the majority of local power (and more of them have pulled papers, starting with the fanatic MEF leader) thereby continuously providing inspiration and self-justification fuel to the right-wing nutjobs, making it all a tinder keg of sick rage. With the hideous Nutjob-in-Chief now playing with his nuclear tinker toys and raging at the world, we are all in real peril for even our basic survival. Saturday an American woman was killed on US soil by an American white man espousing Nazi White Supremacy beliefs. The President of the United States did not condemn these American Nazis in any actual way, and in fact employs actual "alt-right" white supremacists in his chief cabinet positions. "Agree" and "Redux" support Donald Trump, and his cadre of treasonous fascists. These are dark and truly perilous times.

Re: Another year of Taymore???

CT has one more year starting now. Unless they extend her contract.

Bannon is on his way out of the Trump Admin! Also - get over it - Trump is President and will be for another 3.5 years and hopefully longer! Now - get grip on your life and enjoy the ride to a greater America!

Re: Another year of Taymore???

"You know what worries me? It's not that a group of racist idiots lit some tiki torches and decided to have a rally. I worry that on Monday they'll go back to their job in human resources and decide who gets hired and who gets fired. They'll put their uniform back on and 'serve and protect.'They'll sit on a jury and decide the fate of a young person of color. They'll teach in a kindergarten class. They'll sit across from a couple, who came to this country, worked hard and saved, and have the power to approve or deny them a loan to purchase their first home. They'll decide an insurance claim. They'll give an estimate to repair the brakes on a mother's only mode of transportation to get to work each day. I don't stay up lamenting the fact that racists feel emboldened to parade in the street. I stay up because racists have, do, and will apply their racist beliefs in their daily lives and, by extension mine, and they don't do it carrying a banner to distinguish themselves.
It isn't the theatrical that worries me. It's the practical."

Re: Another year of Taymore???

Get over Taymore being our "Super" Superintendent, too.
Trump is our President and Taymore is Our Super.
Both destroy what they touch.
Both are enabled by those around them and are never held accountable.
Politicians from every political party and at every level of government (local and national) show no courage or leadership.
We are stuck with Trump and Taymore.
Incumbant and new candidates for BOa and SC will all be gutless sycophants.
If no one demands change, we deserve what we get.

Truth

Trump/Taymore/Dolan/Driscoll, notice the similarities when it comes to poor character, dictatorial conduct, contempt for rule of law and for the public they are supposed to serve... for starters

Listen, idiot! There are no similarities between Trump and those other 3 people! Are you trying to tell me that those 3 clowns are for lower taxes for the middle class, build the wall to better control immigration, and to stand up to tyrants, dictators? I'm afraid you are wrong - the only similarities among them are in your delusional mind - warped and corrupted by the Democrat cool-aid!

To be far, Real Facts seems to be more of a Milano/Guerriero/Tisei type of Republican.

Re: Another year of Taymore???

1 more year

Since there has been no discussion within the school committee of a superintendent search I would suggest she may have another year added to her contract. Or does Dolan intend to move the middle school principal, Conway, in as interim super and then of course, permanent super? With his control over the gutless school committee, don't be surprised.

Re: Another year of Taymore???

What worries me? It is 2017 and we are all equal now. I worry for my husband, wife, daughter, son, sister and brother who put's back on their uniform to serve and protect. They'll sit on a jury and decide the fate of O.J. Simpson. They will teach and never mention our President's name in a class. The new word for racist is bully. We are ALL equal now, so lets begin acting like human's and do a good deed today. It should be done no matter what color they are. Good luck it cost nothing and it make's a big deal and you feel good.

Re: Another year of Taymore???

Your wife disagrees.

And yeah, you be "far" all right.

Re: Another year of Taymore???

I agree. I also think if one has problems with superintendent, teachers, paras, secretaries, they should handle it in person.
Posting vicious accusatory remarks anonymously on melrose messages is cowardly. Or keep writing letters to high er ups.

Re: Another year of Taymore???

Are you kidding me? When you do that you wind up having false accusations made against you by the city's lawyer and dragged into court on a harassment complaint. After that your child will be ostracized, and you may be denied access to the school without an escort. MM is really the only place left where you can air your complaint.

Re: Another year of Taymore???

So true. That lawyer is a cancer on this city and you can blame Dolan for his appointment.

You are wrong on this one.

Re: Another year of Taymore???

I am a parent at one of the schools in Melrose. As a parent we need to step it up and give more quality time with our kids. That does not mean put them in 4 to 5 sports it's not healthy and then go berserk on the kids and yourself.

Re: Another year of Taymore???

If the SC leave CT in any longer you are going to pay the price.

Re: Another year of Taymore???

SC and Mayor
If the SC leave CT in any longer you are going to pay the price.
CT keeps a tight micro managing reign on school employees and is narcissistic Some employee contracts have an remunerate attendance bonus clause. When an employee requests a "personal" day off or a day off under FMLA CT is known to charge the employee with a "sick" day off to circumvent paying the bonus. Shameful. The employees have to watch every pay stub to ensure that the attendance balances are correct. Hard to do if you are a low level or part-time employee that she considers non-essential but that she really cannot deal without and she keeps all the attendance and payroll records under lock and key.
