we chose sheila salmon. paul revere is a tough school with tough issues and we need a tough principal. we are so fortunate to have that in sheila salmon. we don't need a principal who will sugar coat our challenges. we need someone who will be straight and honest with us and challenge all of us to strive for better. we are so fortunate to have that in sheila salmon. change is hard and at the beginning of the school year, some people showed they didn't like 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 child
