I just read the Supt. was never a teacher or principal and the BOE wanted a Puerto Rican. Tim Sullivan out performed her at the public interview, has been a teacher and principal and the BOE hires a social worker. And we wonder why Hartford Schools are in a mess? THe Mayor and the BOE keep making these stupid mistakes is why we keep getting these problems. We pay her $300,000 plus benefits for this to occur. The Supt, Mayor and the BOE should ALL be replaced and the State should take over the mess in Hartford. Maybe it is time for us to call the Governor and the Commissioner of Education and have them meet with the parents and families. Something has to give. This is ridiculous. Eddie Genao and now this. IS Tim Sullivan still available?

Present Board of Education members are ridiculous and so were boards before them. Former Mayors Pedro Seggara and Eddie Perez were a joke. They both sat on the Board of Education. Hartford schools got worse. The Hartford Public School Administrators are out of control. Public school systems across our state laugh at Hartford. I do too. Please State of Connecticut take over Hartford public schools. The new HPS Superintendent is a joke. Where dose she live? Has she moved to Hartford yet. More resources need to go to teachers for there classrooms and salaries and not to another HPS Superintendent. I would love to have all the wasted money they spent and spend. And of course the salaries, stipends, sick and vacation time and on and on....It is ridiculous! Remember Hartford is going Bankrupt....Hartford Public Schools former and present Superintendents you are and were a BIG part of the problem.

We don’t know how the principal came by this information and neither does the parent that called you from the sound of things. So, we don’t know why the principal spoke with the child- and as a previous post says, principals do have the right and responsibility to speak with the student. I highly doubt it was an interrogation- both because of the reason for the conversation and, frankly, because I know the principal and that isn’t the way she handles things. What was said was that the principal called DCF- that is what she is supposed to do- principals don’t call in law enforcement- they call DCF and it is up to DCF to contact law enforcement. If you have actually called DCF to make a complaint then you would know that they ask a lot of questions so it would not surprise me if, knowing this, the principal had a conversation with the student to get more facts. Would DCF have asked the principal if she felt there was merit? Yes but that doesn’t preclude DCF from making their own investigation. If they decided not to proceed then that is on them and the article should hold them accountable for their part. I am disappointed with the salacious gossip that is contained in this “article.” We are talking about a child and two people whose livelihood depends on ensuring that children and safe and well educated. To engage in character assassination with so little to go on as a parents report (who wasn’t even aware of the issue) is unfair. I do think that there are things going on in Hartford that need to be called into question but this particular type of reporting is just unfair.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982633190780306493.post-8931450891992309842017-10-20T21:49:33.794-04:002017-10-20T21:49:33.794-04:00Because principals don't want central office i...Because principals don't want central office involved.

I know plenty of educators that have left the field because it is very stress full. Years ago I was involved educating children. I can remember how hard it was to get parents involved and to get children to stay still and listen in a classroom. Parents or who ever is raising children in this day and age must be responsible. The Federal, state and local monies have not been effective. Yes, there are good and bad educators as in every field today. Bullying is a countrywide problem.
