We, the undersigned call on the Concord Public School Committee and Superintendent to immediately end the harassment and retaliation against Concord Teachers Association President Merrie Najimy and keep her in her classroom where she belongs.
Why is this important?
For 15 years, Merrie Najimy received exemplary evaluations, earned the respect of parents, faculty and administrators, and won the love of her third grade students. Subsequent to her election as President of the Concord Teachers Association and her organizing activity as a member of the Massachusetts Teachers Association Board of Directors, the current school administration has utilized the evaluation system to target her. On April 30, 2013, her principal recommended not to rehire Merrie Najimy.
