DO NOT EXTEND SUPERINTENDENT ERICA FORTI'S CONTRACT
DO NOT EXTEND SUPERINTENDENT ERICA FORTI'S CONTRACT
The Issue
THE TOWN OF EAST HAVEN BOARD OF EDUCATION, IS ABOUT TO DECIDE ON THE EXTENSION OF SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT, ERICA FORTI'S CONTRACT. SUPERINTENDENT FORTI HAS NOT EVEN HAD HER REVIEW YET. WHY IS THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE?
Public schools in East Haven School District have an average math proficiency score of 31% (versus the Connecticut public school average of 47%), and reading proficiency score of 46% (versus the 57% statewide average). This district's average testing ranking is 2/10, which is in the bottom 50% of public schools in Connecticut.
THESE PERCENTAGES ARE UNACCEPTABLE!
DURING THE COVID PANDEMIC SUPERINTENDENT FORTI FORCED VETERAN EDUCATORS AND SUPPORT STAFF TO RETIRE, OR QUIT, INSTEAD OF TRYING TO WORK WITH THESE DEDICATED STAFF MEMBERS TO KEEP EVERYTHING FLOWING PROPERLY, FOR OUR CHILDREN. INSTEAD, AN ADDED BURDON WAS PUT ON THE REMAINING STAFF, STUDENTS AND PARENTS.
SUPERINTENDENT FORTI HAS PROVEN SHE CAN NOT LEAD, AND SHE CAN NOT EXECUTE A PLAN IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE STUDENTS TO GIVE THEM THE TOOLS THEY NEED TO HELP BE SUCCESSFUL IN THEIR FUTURES. HER LACK OF BEING ABLE TO GET THIS DISTRICT UP IN RATINGS SHOWS HER INABILITY TO BE A PRODUCTIVE SUPERINTENDENT. ERICA FORTI HAS HAD AMPLE TIME AS THE FORMER DISTRICT CURRICULUM COORDINATOR, TO ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT IN 2011, TO SUPERINTENDENT IN 2017, TO PUT TOGETHER A PLAN TO GET THIS DISTRICT FROM THE BOTTOM 50% TO THE TOP AND SHE HAS FAILED. WITH A SALARY OF OVER $182,000.00 OF TAX PAYER DOLLARS WE MUST DEMAND BETTER.
IT IS TIME FOR A CHANGE AT THE HELM OF OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT. TELL THE EAST HAVEN BOE, THAT WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF OUR TAX DOLLARS NOT GOING TO PROPERLY EDUCATE THE STUDENTS AND TO HIRE A SUPERINTENDENT WHO WILL BUDGET PROPERLY, AND WHO CAN EXECUTE A PLAN TO ENSURE AN EXCELLENT EDUCATION FOR THE STUDENTS OF EAST HAVEN, BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT EACH AND EVERYONE OF THEM DESERVE.

TO THE EAST HAVEN BOE: WE, THE PARENTS AND THE TAX PAYERS IMPLORE YOU "NOT" TO EXTEND THE CONTRACT OF SUPERINTENDENT ERICA FORTI.
