ms. salmon coming to our school. ms. salmon is not perfect. many people have grievance with her which i totally respect and understand. i personally think our immersion and enrichment programs need work but i feel she knows this and listens to everybody when she can. we're exhausted from working so hard. please allow us to continue on this path that will lead to success in this school. thank you for your attention. >> good evening, my name is carmen leanne and a parent of two children at paul revere school. i am one of the parents that originally participated in a protest at the beginning of the year. the main reason i participated in the protest was because i was concerned that some voices in our school community were being excluded. i was also worried that some of the disciplinary policies implemented at paul revere were unhealthy for the children. the protest sparked much needed conversation regarding these and many other issues at the school. over the last few months, our principal, the teachers, the administration and p.t.a. have striven

ms. salmon's reforms. there were unfortunate scenes back then but i saw her handle difficult situations gracefully and respectfully and she has since initiated many programs to address concerns and bring them on board with reforms. most parents at paul revere cannot fathom why her contract would not be renewed. we feel the district should be begging for her to return. i am very concerned if we lose her, we will lose some of her new stellar hires, amazing teachers that are at paul revere because of her. another upheaval in leadership can only hurt our children's education. finally i realize she came from another school district so you may not know her very well but her job is not a popularity contest. she was hired to do a specific job and she's doing that job very well. please, please, please let her continue. and i'd like any of you to please come and see paul revere for yourself and i'd like to thank dr. . [applause] who is - dr. murase who is coming this week and i look forward to seeing you then. >> my
