School official says 'When adults fight, kids suffer,' urges leaders to stop politicizing schools
Summary
Addressing staff, a school official criticized political attacks on the school system, warned that such behavior harms students, and urged leaders to set a constructive example rather than score political points.
A school official urged civic leaders to stop using the school system for political point-scoring and said that when leaders engage in "vitriol" it harms students.
"When adults fight, kids suffer," the staff member said, calling the blame-throwing "not becoming of leaders" and asking colleagues to "rise above this" and refocus on priorities for students. The speaker framed the message as a call for constructive leadership and community cohesion rather than partisan attacks.
The official thanked staff for their support and closed by inviting questions and reminding staff to attend schools on Friday.
