School Committee Chair criticizes state response on education
Wicked Local
Marshfield School Committee Chairman Sean Costello sharply criticized state leadership this week, taking the unusual step to speak on behalf of himself, not the committee or district, during a committee meeting. I don t typically say things like that in meetings like this, but I m at my breaking point, Costello said.
He characterized the issue as an absence of leadership. In times of great challenges, we look to our leaders to steady the ship, Costello said. We rely on them for advice and for guidance and to help us minimize stress. From the very start of this pandemic, the Massachusetts Department of Education has, in my view, failed to provide this leadership.
