Mohawk Trail School Committee addresses DESE complaint, School Choice numbers and home schooling policy >Published: 7/19/2021 2:58:35 PM
BUCKLAND A Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) audit of hiring practices, concerns regarding home schooling policies and School Choice figures for the upcoming school year were discussed by the Mohawk Trail Regional School District School Committee last week.
The meeting, which was held both on Google Meet and in person, addressed the nature of the complaint filed with DESE requesting an audit of past hiring practices at Mohawk Trail Regional School. The concern arose from the “legality and ethics” of the process used to hire Vice Principal Diane Zamer in 2019, who lacked the appropriate certification or licensure at the time. Those in direct question are Principal Marisa Mendonsa, former Superintendent Michael Buoniconti and members of the Mohawk Trail School Committee who served at the time.
