Local activists congratulate the City of Salem on its decision to terminate its contract with Flock Safety. 💥 This decision is the result of an eight-month organizing effort by a coalition of local grassroots organizations and concerned Salem residents in partnership with the ACLU of Massachusetts. 💥

Salem's announcement that it was severing ties with Flock Safety was welcome, but it erased the role local activists played in the city's decision.

I learned a lot throughout this superintendent search process, and I'm deeply grateful to Dr. Jorge Allen and Mr. Andrew Bott for the time, vulnerability, and interest they showed in our school district. Salem was lucky to have three exceptional finalists, each bringing different experiences, perspectives, and strengths to the table.

I supported the appointment of Dr. Thomas Welch because I believe his unique combination of instructional leadership, experience leading an urban school district as a regional superintendent, commitment to multilingual learners and dual language education, long-term systems thinking, and vision for innovation best aligns with where Salem is today and where we are headed.

Congratulations to Dr. Thomas Welch. I look forward to working together to build an innovative, equitable, and joyful school district where every student has the opportunity to succeed.

Dr. Thomas Welch was appointed as the Superintendent of Salem Public Schools Wednesday night at a special meeting of the Salem School Committee.

It was so powerful to be a part of the [historic] decision to name this school after Dr. Sarah Parker Remond a couple months back. And even more special to hear from our students on how it makes *them* feel 🥹

What an honor to hear from our young folks during the Youth Roundtable at LEAP for Education in Salem, and have the chance to hear from our Attorney General, Andrea Campbell.

Golden Nuggets for me as a school committee member🪙

1) Students need more career guidance and support to understand how their academic pursuits connect to their future careers and purpose.
2) Students are seeking a more engaging and creative school experience.
3) Schools could improve their support for mental health and well-being.
