Former Southbridge High Teacher Weighs In

Today's Worcester Telegram contained a letter to the Editor from a former teacher at Southbridge High school.

I read where Southbridge Schools are in danger of being taken over by the state. This comes as no surprise to me; someone who taught mathematics at Southbridge High School.

It is my understanding that Southbridge has had seven superintendents and seven principals since 2011 – that is almost unfathomable. I mean, that should have set off alarms at every level of government. What is the Commissioner of Elementary and Secondary Education thinking; that the eighth principal and superintendent of schools will turn Southbridge around? What has Representative Peter Durant done to help in this regard? What about the Southbridge Board of Selectmen and School Board – they hire and fire all these people.
