Report Inappropriate Comments

The Ragosta Report has finally been released. I have just read it and some observations jump out.

First, 92 pages and that is just the summary! That ain't a verbal report folks! Jennifer Ahearn tried to sweep this under the rug with comments under oath such as "I have not reviewed any of this testimony." (pg. 35 line 21) and "We are not going to do anything further." (pg. 66 line 9). She deceived us when she said the report was "all verbal" when 92 pages of transcribed testimony certainly is a written document.

Vincent Ragosta suggested (on page 66 line 20) that "it would be helpful if you at least think of formulating a policy." Smart man. Great idea. Sad that Ahearn, Nadeau, Mederous , Furtado, or Healey didn't care enough about our students to think of this themselves. Seems more than obvious to me. One last comment: Karen Bachus said "This is a zero-tolerance issue. I would call for termination." (pg 41 line 16). I believe that is your starting point. The safety of our children ais still in your hands, and to be honest, you blew it! Please don't do it again!
