Wow. It never ceases to amaze me how the school system in the US is soo localized to the point that what you are describing is possible.

Is the state not allowed to intervene when a local town school system superintendent f**ks it up so bad?

At the time, thats what we were saying. 'Why isn't the state stepping in?' But 2021? When everything was falling apart?

When schools were like 'are we remote? Are we staying home? Our town budget is gone cause we spent everything on covid stuff - lets just fire as many people as possible.

The state eventually stepped in - as far as I remember - at least I think so cause my friend is back to being the music teacher in the high school. But it took A LONG time for the state to realize what was going on and get their act in gear. It wasn't like this happened and then the state went 'no'. This happened and then there were MONTHS of virtual school board meetings with town parents losing their shit at the board and board going 'lol no'. Like I said, my sister and I zoomed in to watch the shit shows.

Every time Randolph could make a decision about their schools, they made the WORST POSSIBLE DECISION.
