Public Comments – continued

Ms. Harrison stated the children hate school, and quit and drop out when they should be

thriving and enjoying this time of their lives, but we as parents can only do what we can to

make things better. She spoke about the principal at Briggs using the prison pipeline to push

the kids out on to the streets with expulsions and suspensions. The comment is irresponsible

action and asked to let the people know if this is the way you want to operate and just step

down and put somebody else in.

7. Darnell Crosland, NAACP President, 25 Grand Street, said this was the second time he

was here on this issue and he referred to the statement asking for a response and he

highlighted the issues. He spoke about the comment of ‘the girl who cried black’ was

Chairman and asked if anything has been done or a statement prepared to address the

comment made by Mr. Chiaramonte.

And custodians were an important part of the school family. He added that you can’t put

their children. He spoke about the background clearance that is required for BOE

employees and asked again why have strangers do their work? He said there are

dedicated employees that need work and to privatize and take away jobs is not right. We

need to be better.

11. Mr. John Mosby, 15 Adamson Avenue, Norwalk thanked all for coming and stated he

was so glad so many people came in to support the efforts tonight to right the many

wrongs that have gone on. This Board has hurt his daughter and son and it is not right

and he wants the media to know that they have misquoted him. He stated that he had

filed a complaint that things are twisted, there is continued bias against Blacks and

Hispanics. He stated that he supports the custodians and maintenance workers and it is

an outrage that loyal dedicated workers are losing jobs to outsourcing, and it is not right.

He stated that it seems that this Board is running the blacks out of town. He does not

like how the Board treated his daughter and he has filed a law suit in Hartford. He said

that again he will keep on fighting for all people.

it does make sense. He added that there is no benefit that there will be added charges as

it goes through as there is no way a service can perform all the areas that are needed.

16. Gwen Samuel, from Meriden spoke about the parents of the state union are all watching

what is going on in Norwalk with this type of treatment. The comment reeks of racist

and it is irresponsible action and the politicians are watching how degrading it is. She

put somebody else in.

that have worked so hard. He asked the Board to work things out and come together for

the best interests of the City and the children.

20. Tony Santa Maria, 36 West Avenue stated that he wanted to thank Mr. Daddona for his

help with the home-bound instruction of his son that is now very happy with the teachers

that have been assigned to him. He spoke how the board needs to come together to work

things out and treat each other with respect.

21. Tashida Roberts 8 Hudson St.Bridgeport stated she is a Norwalk native that has

graduated college and law school. She noted how disrespectful it is of Board members

lack of attention to the public comments and how texting and using computers is not

proper during the meeting. She asked if they are disinterested just resign, and if you have

the decency to apologize for racist comments, you should. She spoke about the

wrongness of the process used and against privatization of custodians and the likelihood

of law suits. She added that the board needs to come together to work things out and treat

each other with respect.

22. Juanita Fleming (no address given) spoke about her son transferred from New York and

was given no transition support from the Norwalk Public Schools. She shared her

experiences and described inappropriate treatment of her son where he as put in isolation

facing the blackboard until he was able to join the class and change his behavior. She

explained that this went on for a long period of time and this was not right for a child in

elementary school. She spoke how he is not happy here and she is not happy with the

district that the testing is horrible and there are many factors that are unacceptable in an

educational setting. She asked the Board to please do something.

Murray – this surfaced at finance meeting with supt. Apparently, vote taken overall top of line -

10 points, objectives – board voted for agreeing to put process in place and not micromanage it.

this type of discussion. How it delivers, the Superintendent needs to have this discussion. Need

to have points in between on how it happen.

improving school culture as measured by the decrease in the number of referrals and

suspensions.

chronic absenteeism. Our revised plan focuses on reducing absenteeism, improving

instruction and data systems, individualizing services, and rebranding the school.
