However my understanding is they will be posted shortly online and I don't know what the link is but maybe someone else does and when they're posted online we will all have access to read them in my suggestion is anyone who gave her a positive rating this year probably needs to get voted out when their school committee term is up. But I know other people have different opinions than mine that's just my opinion 4 My Town. Maybe in Amherst she did a better job than she did in Pelham.Rebecca Casahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15674111106488990710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035949355013113578.post-38067707443794502162016-08-11T19:51:57.939-04:002016-08-11T19:51:57.939-04:00Most of this would be paid by Insurance that's...Most of this would be paid by Insurance that's what we pay our insurance company for course there may be some Financial burdens for the town of Amherst the town of Amherst had to bail out the school system on the Carolyn Gardner situation and they had no noticeRebecca Casahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15674111106488990710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035949355013113578.post-7272624577359575952016-08-11T17:12:57.542-04:002016-08-11T17:12:57.542-04:00More questions, will the details of her payout be ...More questions, will the details of her payout be confidential?
