Students of Everett High School in Massachusetts walked out of class on Thursday in protest of the Everett School Committee’s decision not to renew the district superintendent’s contract.
Approximately 100 students marched to Everett City Hall, chanting in support of Superintendent Priya Tahiliani, to demand the school committee reverse its decision and extend her contract.
“It’s just upsetting to see that they kicked out the one woman of color who has actually been putting in a lot of help for the community,” said Ezra Rosario, an Everett High School alumni. “She’s been very proactive. But our own mayor is only proactive when it looks good on his own.”
