Priya Tahiliani, the Everett Public Schools Superintendent has been placed on paid administrative leave, as complaints against her leadership style are investigated. The School Committee voted 7-3, favoring investigations into the complaints according to Boston 25 News

With the anonymous allegations against Tahiliani, the City's attorney mentioned that these result from accusations of a retaliatory and hostile work environment. The opacity behind these accusations has prompted questions about potential political input, given Tahiliani's rocky rapport with the School Committee.

Furthermore, the Committee's delayed response was criticized, as complaints emerged only a month after their report stated by WBUR.

Despite the committee's decision, Tahiliani received support from both students and teachers during the heated meeting, with several individuals proudly displaying signs in support of her continued position as superintendent Boston 25 News.
