This is here really breaks my heart. I love Batchelder School and to find out that we couldn't do anything about it really sucks. Superintendent Leslie Torres-Rodriguez didn't even care about The Kids that Spoke, the Parents or anyone else that spoke to Save Batchelder, she just kept adding lies after lies after lies. Batchelder school was everything for those kids and now for this Kids to go by the school and looking at other kids playing in their playground really makes me sick from Leslie Torres. Leslie you don't have a Heart of Gold you have a heart of Evil just like everyone else that works at the Hartford Board of Education.
I love the STAFF at Batchelder School everyone that works there where awesome not only to me but to everyone. Principal Paul Casey for him to know that many students names shows that he actually really care about them unlike you that only care for yourself and the Money.
Leslie Torres-Rodriguez You don't care about no one but yourself you are a complete looser, you suck as a Superintendent and as a parent. YOU SUCK.
You lie and say that you want to closed all this schools but not telling people that you want to close Batchelder School and make it into a Magnet not letting our KIDS in there. You want our Kids out and the Entire Staff so you could bring other kids in. You SUCK.
Also You come out and say that we didn't have Enough Parents in the school for us to try to save it yeah we did, we had Parents all over the Entire Auditorium was pack with over 300 People inside the staff standing up so Parents that where there to save the school could sit. The Cafeteria also over crowded the Library also Crowded and you and the Entire Board of Ed makes all this lies.
Hartford Schools has a lot of Magnets Schools already and not only it's hurting Hartford but also Public Schools, You Leslie want to convert all this schools into Magnet which by the way you have to be on a waiting list won't even care if you get in or not. What about the Kids that don't get in what about their Education are you gonna go to their home and become a Teacher hey you Probably suck at that like you do as a Superintendent.
Anyway what you did was wrong.
