So much for transparency and a willingness to change.

Instead of telling us why decisions were made, why they are continuing with the old guard, and why no thought was put into the future; the school committee decided to hide.

If letting Mr. Horoschak go was a for personal reasons, that is fine. Tell us that and we will let it go, it is none of our business. If it were for some other reason, and the committee doesn't want to say what the reason is because it may "look bad", well, your silence makes it look bad and I can only assume the worst-case scenario was put in play. If you are not going to say why, then we will just have to assume there are nasty things going on.

As for Mr. D'agostino, he may be the best person to run the district, but shouldn't the School Committee at least see if that is true? Too much money is being spent on education only to have those in power say, "Oh well, we made a mistake. We went down the wrong course and now are going to have to spend twice as much to bring us back to where we were years ago."

The time has come for schools in this city, and state for that matter, to be run differently. Spend what it takes to insure that we put out top students, citizens who can take this city and state to a higher level.

It can be done, but not by being secretive and unwilling to lead.
