Re: Pay increase

The seven year million dollar question. No acknowledgement from Cyndy Taymore. Other superintendents did not practice this segregation against paras and also not receiving emails until after the fact. The union should not be allowing this practice.

Re: Pay increase

I live in Melrose but I work in Wakefield and we are always looking for great paras. Join our team.

Re: Pay increase

I live in Stoneham and worked for Melrose for almost ten years. I refused to stay one more year and went to Wakefield. The system respects, appreciates and acknowledges it's paras. The goals are to be a team. When Melrose stopped giving kindergarten teachers NO paras in the classroom is when I left.

Re: Pay increase

I agree the business manager, Marianne Farrell needs to speak her mind. She needs to demand some free money found be donate to the paraprofessionals who have been neglected for countless years.

Re: Pay increase

MFarrell is worse than useless. She has worked her way up the Peter Principle ladder, now earning more than $134,000 for being a useless shill for CT, someone who is supposedly the school district business manager but has cost the taxpayers dearly in consultant fees paid to do her job. She was a lousy assistant principal at MHS, an even lousier principal, and a total no-show unqualified ridiculous hire in her current role. She's absolutely a joke. Even the terrible Piccone at least showed up for public meetings, unlike MF who can't be bothered (and CT doesn't want her there demonstrating her profound ignorance, which is saying something coming from CT!).

Re: Pay increase

I have to laugh at the paras that think they're the boss of everyone. LOL

Melrose schools have more Chiefs and no Indians.

Re: Pay increase

Can anyone tell me the total of Paraprofessional in Melrose district? I was told hundred and twenty.

Re: Pay increase

I believe people take this job to see it they want to go into teaching. Second is they need the insurance for the family. It is NOT for the pay.
