Weymouth parents are raising the alarm about student safety, but the School Committee is offering only thanks instead of action. Here is what happened at the June 25th meeting. 🧵 #MeetingWatch #WeymouthMA
During public comment, parents and staff reported severe physical violence in schools—including 'curb stomping' and metal water bottle attacks. They also cited inadequate staffing at Hamilton School and privacy concerns for students with disabilities.
Despite the gravity of these reports, the Committee took no immediate votes or budgetary actions to address these safety gaps. The only directive issued was for principals to start 'journal logs' to track building issues.
The meeting also saw a 3-2 split over the June 4th meeting minutes. Two members argued the records were inaccurate and failed Open Meeting Law requirements by omitting comments made by Chair Nardone. Transparency matters. #WeymouthSchools https://meetingwatch.org/ma/weymouth/school-committee/2026-06-25/
At the June 25th Weymouth School Committee meeting, the gap between community outcry and board action was on full display. Multiple parents and staff members provided harrowing testimony regarding student safety, describing incidents of physical violence including 'curb stomping' and students being hit with metal water bottles. Residents specifically called for increased staffing, more BCBAs, and more authority for the Health and Safety Committee to address staff injuries and student volatility. While the Board acknowledged the testimony, no immediate corrective actions, policy changes, or resource allocations were proposed. Internal divisions were also evident. The Committee split 3-2 on whether to approve the minutes from the June 4th 'meeting of the whole.' Two members, Ashley and Kelly, voted against approval, arguing that the minutes were inaccurate and violated Open Meeting Law by omitting substantive comments made by Chair Nardone. When parents report violence and members report inaccurate records, residents deserve more than a 'thank you'—they deserve transparency and a plan for safety. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/weymouth/school-committee/2026-06-25/ #MeetingWatch #WeymouthMA
