Parents at a Worcester school are raising concerns over ongoing changes during what Worcester Public Schools are calling a transitional period. Nelson Place Elementary School parents stood out following the departure of Cindy Homan as Assistant Principal. In a letter, Worcester Superintendent Brian Allen says the decision was mutual, and Ms. Homan is a valued member of the Worcester Public Schools family... and she will now work as an Assistant Principal at another elementary school in the Worcester Public Schools. New to the Nelson Place school this year, Principal Mary Sealey is leading Nelson Place, and parents say they are unhappy with how the school year has been going so far.

Nelson Place parent Katy McRell, "We're very unsatisfied with the way things are being run, the whole the feeling when you pull up to the school is very different. So when Miss Holman got let go or transferred to a new school, that was kind of the breaking point for the parents. We aren't going to take any more changes."

Also in the letter sent by Worcester Public Schools to Nelson Place families and staff...  Superintendent Allen acknowles the change as emotional and difficult... he goes on to say, in part, Nelson Place will continue to thrive under the leadership of Principal Mary Sealey. She is a former Nelson Place parent and most recently served as Principal of the Canterbury Street Elementary School, which was among the top five most improved schools in WPS this year.
