Thank you for this very important article. I am very happy for this information to become available to the public. When I think of a school superintendent or the president of the school board, I think it’s a privilege for them to be in those roles and stand before the community. Their unwillingness to address this serious heat issue with parents or The Croton Chronicle is very disappointing. The district needs to do much better for our kids. This heat situation is unacceptable for them to learn, work and grow in. It’s also unacceptable for the staff to work in. Yet no response from them even though many hundreds of residents will be reading this? Sad. They need to step up their game and not only give a response but actually fix serious health issues in the buildings like this. I myself am tempted to take this to a much larger news agency to get this situation rectified for students and teachers and aides alike.

Their leadership failures are numerous. They also covered up a sexual predator teacher in the high school who groomed a student and then slept with him literally right after he graduated. They allowed this teacher to resign and did not report her or the grooming to the state, so she’s free to do it again somewhere else.

I have heard this story from more than one source. If the Chronicle had existed then, and if it could have been confirmed, we would have covered it. Going forward, we will cover any story of public interest, and we encourage villagers to get in touch with issues they think are being ignored.

Crazy but apparently very true.

Completely unacceptable, especially considering a capital project provision was approved by voters to help solve this. I think anyone could understand a full building not having cooling but to not have it in certain areas or where promised is borderline abuse.
