Parents at the Lyndon School are overwhelmed with the demise of the school culture and the ways BPS responded to the frightening events recently. These events are strictly related to our children’s safety and emotional well-being at the Lyndon.
It has been a huge concern for our community that the school district has made it a priority to focus on the restructuring of BPS one more time in less than few years, and cover up incompetent actions, instead of taking accountability and doing something positive to stop the destruction of some of the best BPS schools.
Tommy Chang and his cabinet led by Mary Driscoll are obviously more concerned with their own personal agendas and games to ensure their positions. Lets face it; Boston Schools have not been enjoying the success Tommy Chang promised during his hiring process. His IRS farce about the student funds’ use, and his lack of transparency and manipulations of the IRS situation tells more than any parent could tolerate. Let’s not forget the BPS’ MCAS scores’ decline being published all over the news as late as October 2017. Here at the Lyndon, many parents and students have been frightened and helpless at the sight of the recent violent acts and threats, but also fed up with BPS’ lip service instead of real action.
