Principal reassignments are causing major instability. Over 20 speakers—including parents and staff—testified that the transfers of Principals Kathy Cummings (Rogers) and Mike Rinaldi (Westhill) feel retaliatory rather than strategic.

Beyond personnel, transparency is a growing concern. The Board recently canceled a special meeting, citing 'legal counsel' and 'confidentiality.' While the Board issued a formal statement, the lack of specific information is fueling community distrust.

Finally, the community is calling for more oversight. Speakers cited CT General Statute 10-2-4-0, reminding the Board that they hold the power, not the Superintendent. Will the Board move from consultation to active accountability? #Stamford https://meetingwatch.org/ct/stamford/board-of-education/2026-03-31/

Longer-form draft.
The March 31 Stamford Board of Education meeting revealed a widening gap between district leadership and the community. The meeting was defined by intense public testimony, with dozens of residents raising alarms over stability, safety, and transparency. One of the most pressing issues involves the proposed reassignments of Principal Kathy Cummings (Rogers International) and Principal Mike Rinaldi (Westhill High School). Numerous parents and staff members provided testimony alleging that these transfers lack transparency and appear to be retaliatory. Despite the volume of community concern, the Board did not provide a direct rebuttal or a plan to address these stability concerns during the meeting. Transparency is also under scrutiny following the abrupt cancellation of a recent special meeting. The Board cited the need for legal consultation and confidentiality, leaving residents in the dark about the matters at hand. Additionally, parents expressed urgent concerns regarding student safety and communication protocols following a recent student walkout at Westhill High School. As the Board moves forward, the community is demanding more than just statements—they are demanding actionable protocols and visible oversight of the administration. https://meetingwatch.org/ct/stamford/board-of-education/2026-03-31/ #MeetingWatch #StamfordCT
