It is truly unfathomable that because four out of nine members on the board have personal issues with a woman who is clearly attempting to erect a change within the district that vendettas have been set off. There is clear dysfunction among the board members , true lack of cohesiveness and no value or regard for the welfare of the children. Not to mention they are representatives of the city. Some of US voted for them. No thanks, I'd rather have a seat at the devils table. As this is an election year the next few weeks will be interesting to say the least. Especially since several members of the board are tied politically one way or another to those in office and those running. Hmmm, why? Since when did politics start having a front seat in the classrooms? When will we stand up for our children and take control of how they are educated and cared for while under the direction of the Board of Education? Dr Sheard, Plainfield needs you. Please don't let the ignorance of a few incompetent, uneducated board members force you out.

This is disgraceful! This would not occur in a prominent and affluent community. I recently moved to Plainfield and regret it! Especially learning that I can't trust this district with my children! I am disgusted and hope change will come.

Dr. Sheard seems to be making sense of the chaos, if she was deemed worthy to be hired in Sept., what has she done to sully her reputation since. I have a 46 year window on Plainfield education...I can't imagine why the board feels that Dr Sheard's contract should not be renewed. I would hope you would reconsider your vote and allow Dr Sheard to do what she deems educationally sound for our district. She is changing the culture of incompetence to one of meritocracy. I wonder if those who are against her are protecting their own incompetence. The Board sets policy...she is the educational leader, allow her to do so.

Students (& teachers) need consistent , quality leadership like Dr. Sheard. This district has had too many weak, ineffective leaders, and we should be grateful to have her. Please keep her!

Plainfield Board of Ed needs to listen to its stakeholders who put them there and do what is in the best interest of our community. They need to hire Dr. Shepard as superintendent or assistant superintendent.
