Tiverton, R.I. (June 9, 2020) – The faculty members of NEA Tiverton met last week and, with overwhelming support, took a vote of no confidence in Peter Sanchioni, the Superintendent of the Tiverton school system. While the vote was unanimous, a few members not in attendance did not agree with this step, and we remain troubled that even this protected action would lead to further bullying and intimidation from the Superintendent.
The members listed the following concerns:
Therefore, despite low morale in our ranks brought on by the onslaught of failure of the Superintendent’s leadership at every turn, NEA Tiverton has come together to call upon the Tiverton School Committee to bring about an independent agent to investigate our concerns. We would expect this agent to report directly to the School Committee, as we believe an outsider would not be subjected to the tactics we have endured.
At a time when leadership from the top needed to show vision and the ability to collaborate with those on the front lines of our children’s education, we were instead given the back of his hand and essentially told we were to be seen and not heard.
We have never lost faith in our students. We have lost confidence in our Superintendent.
