While most were focusing on “the flu” the Lowell Sun carried an article about an alleged threat from School Committee person Regina Faticanti against Lowell School Superintendent Chris Augusta Scott.
A special School Committee meeting was scheduled then postponed. On Wednesday, when the Superintendent was at WCAP during her weekly appearance, she was asked directly about the alleged threat. Her response “no comment.” There was no denying, rebuffing or clarification, simply, “no comment.” Add the fact that the Sun reported that School Committeewoman hired a lawyer and that attorney did not deny that he was hired, I think we have a problem.
I have posted before on School Committee Faticanti’s abrasive style when she verbally attacked the previous School Superintendent, her colleague Jackie Doherty and recently the City Auditor; then there was her outbursts against school trips. I do not know who her advisors or allies are but whoever they may be, they should sit her down and ask her to publicly apologize. As for her colleagues, sometimes they act like enablers. One can be devoted and dedicated to the students of Lowell and yet maintain their civility.

Civility and Faticanti go together like oil and water. As someone who’s known her “before she was a virgin” (so to speak), this is typical. The pictures in the paper were priceless. The hulking sourpuss vs. the angelic neophyte. BB Wolf vs. Red Riding Hood maybe?

She needs to go. Her abrasiveness has gone too far.

I think it was very nice of the Mayor to accomodate Reginas schedule - she was leaving for her Florida vacation the day after the scheduled meeting - nice of Mayor Bud to cancel the meeting so that she could pack.

Maybe Regina “Say Hello to my Leetle Frenn” Faticanti is headed off to charm school? Maybe now that she’s gone, Jay Lang can go back to wearing only one pair of pants.

Is it appropriate to negotiate dropping criminal charges in exchange for Faticanti’s resignation?

I couldn’t agree more with Kim. It’s time for Regina to go…now can we get the voters to wake up. She’s a vindictive bully.
