As a parent of a Wakefield student, the school and the Principal deserve all the criticism they receive.

The only time the principal communicates or does something is if a parent calls him out. He still has not sent out any communication regarding the other overdose on Thursday afternoon.

It’s really pathetic had little some parents expect of the principal. He barely does the minimum but yet parents will praise him. It’s so sad they expect so little.

I don’t believe the PTA President blamed the school. She had harsh words for the SB and the superintendent. She said they knew this was coming, had been repeatedly warned, and didn’t take action that the Wakefield community repeatedly requested. I didn’t see anything other than praise for the Wakefield school community for responding how and when they did last week.

In terms of criticism of the principal for not sending an official message about what happened at school Thursday, please consider that a 14-year old student died, and the principal was likely both working with the bereaved student’s family and addressing the question of whether school would be open Friday. I remember receiving a general message that there had been an issue Thursday afternoon, and a student required medical attention. I don’t know how much more would have been appropriate.

I think the principal did an amazing job navigating what must have been an unimaginably difficult week for a school administrator. [/quote]

Sounds like the parents want a press secretary assigned to the school. They can't expect the principal and other staff to be writing detailed press releases for the parents when they have to deal with the needs of students and coordinating staff during a lockdown. Maybe they could take some of the extras over at Syphax and reassign them.
