Dear Dr. Wilson and Sudbury School Committee,
It is with great sadness that we learned that Mr. Scott Mulcahy, the assistant principal at the Haynes School, is being let go due to budget cuts. While we understand the budget situation necessitates these painful cutbacks, we wanted to write to show our support of a truly outstanding and excellent educator, who we would like to see find another placement in Sudbury if at all possible. Understanding there is a process is place for all interviews and hires in the district, we simply want Dr. Wilson and the School Committee to know that Mr. Mulcahy has our highest regard and support. Scott is exactly the type of educator and leader that we need in the Sudbury schools.
In his two years at Haynes, Scott has profoundly impacted our students. In addition to his excellent work as an administrator, Scott has initiated a number of programs that are helping make our students better people and global citizens, as well as creating a positive atmosphere based on the growth mindset that runs throughout the Sudbury Schools. Last year Scott started a 4th and 5th grade leadership group which has given students an opportunity to both lead and give back to their community. The leadership group has participated in a number of community service projects including creating snack packs for Maynard Open Table, fundraising for Haynes students to participate in the Special Olympics Unified Games, collecting small toys for children undergoing chemotherapy at Mass General, collecting DVD’s for the Metco buses and the list goes on. While Scott initiated and leads this group, he has allowed the students themselves to make decisions, form plans and promote their community activities, truly teaching them what it means to be active community participants, as well as role models for younger students.
Scott is also engaged and and available to all of our students on a daily basis. He throws footballs with the kids at recess, invites students to play chess in his office, greets them at drop-off in the morning with a smile and a kind word, talks to them in the hallways and encourages them to be at their best, and ends the day at pick-up with another smile and wave. Scott's great attitude and ability to handle delicate situations with a positive outlook has enhanced the overall school atmosphere in more ways that we can mention. In addition, Scott has involved himself in communicating with our parent organization, started a formal community garden when he noticed students were making one themselves, and enhanced the opportunities for the 5th grade safety patrol. These initiatives are not part of his job description, and are just a few of the ways that Scott continually goes above and beyond for our students. We are saddened that Haynes is losing such an extraordinary educator, but we are hoping that Dr. Wilson and the School Committee can find a way to keep him in Sudbury.
Sincerely,

Please consider keeping Scott Mulcahy within SPS. He is well known in the Haynes community for his positive interactions with students. He is a good role model for our children and encourages them to be considerate of others and be their best selves, academically as well as socially.
The kids adore him. The parents genuinely like and respect him. With Scott's strong likeability, smarts and excellent communication skills, how could we let him go? Let's do the right thing for Sudbury Public Schools and provide our kids with the best administrators and educators.
Not only is Mr. Mulcahy a primary component of the Haynes ecosystem, he is a role model for both girls and boys considering a future in education! Please, please consider keeping him a part of the elementary experience for our kids.
Mr. Mulcahy's work with the 4th & 5th leadership group has been monumental for both our students and our community. His calm and even hand in discipline and academic assistance has left a palpable feeling in our school.
From the first time I heard Scott working with a student on a disciplinary issue, I was impressed. He continues to amaze me - his connection to the students and faculty, his work ethic and his creative ideas are all things we can't afford to lose in Sudbury.
Our son is transitioning from Nixon to Haynes in the fall. Transitions are difficult for everyone, but for our little guy, it's going to be especially difficult. The day we arrived for our tour of the program, we were very nervous. While we were waiting for the team chairs, Mr Mulcahy greeted us in the lobby. He was so kind, warm and welcoming. Before we had the opportunity to get to know the wonderful teachers and team chairs our son will be with, it was Mr. Mulcahy that put our minds at ease. Knowing that he would be there as a leader, an educator and a role model made us feel confident that this was going to be the right move for our son. If he can make parents feel that way, imagine what he does for his students?!
Tough decisions regarding school resources are inevitable, but losing Scott's immeasurable positive influence on our children's development shines a harsh light on our value system, in both our educational values and in our school employment process. In the private sector, Scott would be rewarded for his countless efforts and all of the tangible successes in the areas we (as the employers) all value the most (empowered, happy, educated children). Instead our antiquated system will make this decision for us based on seniority and title?! Let's fix this before it's too late and we lose one of our best educators.

Though I don't know Mr. Mulcahy well, my children adore him. He has injected such a positive and fun culture to Haynes that has made school phobic children feel a little bit better about school.
