I have worked for Ms. Franco since 2007. I would describe her judgment and exercise of practice as a superlative exemplar for any professional in her field. She treated every student as an equal who was deserving of the very best education that she could provide. It is a mistake to see her actions in this event as anything other than an educator trying to do her best in a situation where even the best would have their responces left open to condemnation and criticism. You may not agree with her but there was nothing nefarious about her nobel attempts to deal with this situation.

As a former student and team member of the Voc-Tech VarsitySoccer team from 2004-2008, I can vouch first hand for what a positive role model Mrs. Franco was to myself, our team, and all of her students. If it wasn't for Mrs. Franco stepping up and coaching our team in the 2005-2006 season we wouldn't have had a girls soccer program. She had little knowledge of how to coach the game. Especially to a group of girls who all thought they knew more than she did, but she did everything in her power to build a strong team. We didn't have a winning season but she taught us life lessons that I'm sure many of us can look back on today. She put in the time and dedication to make that program better for future classes to come. 10 years later and I still remember everything she did to help me and I know that if I were to ever need guidance now as an adult she would still be there to help with a listening ear and an open mind. Everything she did was for that school and her students. Its unfortunate that any of this has happened and I hope that she is able to find a school that can appreciate her and all that she brings to the table. The students would be lucky to have her.

I met Rosanne while I was working at The Vanderbilt Grace and she was always the nicest! I don't believe these kids are looking at the big picture, they are losing a truly wonderful person!

I know Mrs Franco personally. She is brilliant academically, she is strong and compassionate. She takes the care and education of the students seriously and handles situations with tact and wisdom. In today's world it is very hard to hold anyone accountable, everyone has an excuse and blames anyone else. You have lost a diamond.

I'm a alumni of Voc. And of the years I was there Mrs.Franco never did anything to put her entire student body in any type of harm. Mrs.Franco always strived to see the student be their complete best. Mrs.Franco is a huge part of Voc as well as having a huge impact on the school as a whole. Mrs.Franco deserves to be back at Voc as she belongs.

Rosanne Franco is one of the kindest, most caring, dedicated and positive members of education that I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I would see her on an almost daily basis and would always be greeted with a smile and asked how my day was going. After a few weeks, she knew me by name and always said hello whenever we saw each other. Rosanne, from what I knew of her, was very dedicated to not only her position, but ensuring that students were behaving and acting in a positive manner, kindly correcting missteps in the hallways, curbing inappropriate language and perpetuating positive energy. It is a true and unfortunate shame that Greater New Bedford Voc-Tech will no longer have her on their team and it is their ultimate loss. I sincerely hope that her journey post-resignation take her to a place where she will be properly cherished and appreciated like she always deserved.

People make mistakes. Punishment is one thing, taking someone's career and life away is another. This woman needs us!

Mrs.Franco has always been a kind woman with a position of leadership. Throughout my days at GNBVT she was kind and gentle on approaching difficult situations i was facing. A community needs a leader like her in the position that she was in.
