Drug Discovery

Drugs are bad for your career:

Meghan was recently assigned to Fernwood when parents realized who she was. On Wednesday, in response to the petition, the district superintendent Michael Tolley sent a letter to parents saying, “Due to the response from the Fernwood community and the potential impact and distraction this may cause to student learning, her two-week assignment as a substitute assistant principal concluded yesterday, February 25." The superintendent added that, with time and demonstration of good work, Griffin could have future opportunities to contribute to the district. He claimed in the letter that “our educators, administrators, and support staff - are deeply committed to fostering a culture of integrity, leading by example, and prioritizing the well-being of our students. These values guide all of our decisions and actions as we work together to support student success. We also recognize that growth and the ability to learn from mistakes is a lifelong process—not only for our students but for adults as well. It has been brought to my attention that there is a petition circulating requesting the removal of Ms. Griffin as Fernwood’s substitute assistant principal. "For the past year and a half, Ms. Griffin has taken on multiple roles in support of teaching and learning including temporary administrative positions. Throughout this time, she has demonstrated her dedication to students and has never posed a safety concern. In fact, schools and departments that she has supported have expressed their gratitude for her student-centered approach, kindness, and commitment. However, due to the response from the Fernwood community and the potential impact and distraction this may cause to student learning, her two-week assignment as a substitute assistant principal concluded yesterday, February 25. I remain hopeful that with time and continued demonstration of good work, Ms. Griffin will have future opportunities to contribute to our schools and support student growth. Lynn Olsen will be coming to Fernwood for the next few days to provide extra administrative support. She is a retired administrator and a former Fernwood educator.”
