Bring Giacomelli Back
The purpose of this website is to garner support for Rosemary Giacomelli, who has been working for Fort Lee's Board of Education for close to 20 years, and is currently on administrative leave after a single parent's complaint back in June.

Support our principals and teachers - Bring Giacomelli Back
Rosemary Giacomelli has dedicated the last 20 years to Fort Lee's children's education. If you are a parent of students, or a former student of school number 1 and have benefited from Giacomelli's leadership. Now is the time to give back and to show her how much she has meant to us in her years of service. Now it's her turn to need our support!
Look at the parent's and teacher's testimony at the FLBOE meeting on August 30th, when it was first apparent she would not be back at her post on opening day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amXO3MT5Z_Y&t=3484s
Moreover, If a single complaint from a parent can put a principal's career at risk, how can our teachers exercise their authority at the school when needed?
How can you help?
Write to the Board of Education
their addresses are her: https://flboe.com/board_of_ed
Explain how you believe the accusations of racism and bullying against her do not ring true from your experience. CC us at bringgiacomelliback@gmail.com
if you want to share, and CC or forward to cattafi@northjersey.com, a journalist that has reported on the issue.
Attend the BoE meeting
They are public and can be attended virtually or in person. Anyone is free to make a comment of up to 3 minutes during the call for public comments. Schedule and minutes are here: https://flboe.com/board_of_ed/agendas_and_minutes
Tell your friends
Most of us lose touch with the primary school once our kids leave it, but that doesn't mean we stop caring or are ungrateful. Let anyone who has had kids in School 1 or under Giacomelli know what is happening.
Use your imagination
