19 teachers at NM could get jobs back

Nineteen of the 43 teachers who received pink slips may soon get their jobs back after the teachers union agreed to a $400,000 concession in salary cuts.

It's still unfortunate that anyone has to take a pay cut so that new and un necessary positions can be filled a high salaries.

To pay a Super just to Lead and have vision why everyone else does the work seems pretty wasteful, and the district would be better served if she just went to Quabbin and the district could hire someone to do the job without these other high paid positions that are now doing it.

No arguement here. It would be one heck of a lot easier to look the other way if her "leading" and "vision" resulted in improvement in acedemic performance! The unfortunate fact is that MCAS performance is free falling compared to all of the surrounding schools in our area!!! Time to throw a pail of water on our school committee!
