Still feeling a little uneasy about Monday’s school committee meeting, and not sure of what the undertone was, I gave a call to Dr Mike McNamara to get some first hand input.

DRACUT — School Committee members are accusing one of their own of quietly and illegally handpicking a replacement for embattled Dracut High School Vice Principal Hank Golec, who is facing allegations of breaching the school’s security system and misusing surveillance equipment.

The Lowell Sun Editorial today gives a “thumbs down” to Dracut for not being more forthcoming with information on the Hank Golec affair.
Dracut residents have a lot of questions regarding the lengthy absence of Dracut High School vice principal Hank Golec. They deserve some answers.

With the sudden retirement of Spencer Mullin, of whom none of us really got any chance to get to know (his fault, not ours), there is going to be a need for another Superintendent search.

On the previous incarnation of Michael Hayden’s official website for his campaign for Lowell tech school committee, Hayden pronounced that you could, for $2, get one of his bumper stickers on his signature issue. He even took credit cards!
