The Fall River Public Schools has moved to lay off 73 educators in schools throughout the district, according to the latest data.

Fall River Educators Association President Keith Michon spoke at the June 3 meeting of the Fall River Public School Committee, where he reflected on some “not-so-good things,” leading up to a difficult last month when 213 initial non-renewal letters were sent to district employees. 

“I’m very disheartened to see so many great educators and those with great potential leave Fall River. … I’m hopeful that better systems can be put in place,” he said, citing “a difficult year filled with disruption and instability for so many.”

Rather than “clean house,” Michon said, “we need a builder.”
