The Danvers School Committee meeting on October 6, 2025, opened with a pledge of allegiance and a commitment to fostering a supportive educational environment. The meeting featured public comments, including a notable address from committee member Jim Moroz, who raised several concerns impacting the local school community.

Moroz expressed alarm over guidance from the Massachusetts Teachers Association, which reportedly advised against disciplinary actions for educators who publicly celebrated the assassination of Charlie Crick. He emphasized that such behavior, if true, undermines professional standards and basic human decency.

Additionally, Moroz encouraged Danvers High School and Middle School students interested in forming a Turning Point USA club to reach out for support. He provided resources and his contact information, inviting community members to engage in discussions about the club and its objectives.

He also touched on broader educational topics, including concerns about diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives and critical race theory (CRT) in the curriculum. Moroz advocated for open dialogue regarding the appropriateness of educational materials, stressing the importance of intellectual freedom for students.

The meeting underscored the committee's commitment to addressing community concerns while promoting a respectful exchange of ideas. As discussions continue, the committee aims to ensure that all voices are heard in shaping the educational landscape of Danvers.
