Just by way of background and to shed an interesting light on our current process, here are the actual members of the last Blue Ribbon Search Committee:

2000 Blue Ribbon Committee
7 members, each appointed by one of the School Committee members, including the Mayor, as follows:
          Mayor Eileen M. Donoghue       Atty. Michael Gallagher, Chair,  
          Regina M. Faticanti                  Ken Powers,  
          Timothy F. Golden                  Michael Kuenzler
          George D. Kouloheras             William Collins
          Kevin J. McHugh                     Robin Hall,  
          Joseph M. Mendonca               Dr. Garrett Thurston,  
          William S. Taupier           -      Victoria Hatem,  
3 union representatives:     Teachers – Paul Georges, President
                                        Clerical & Custodial – David Rodrigues, President.
                                        Administrators – Francis Picanso, President
1 current principal (selected by lottery)        Judith Rogers, Rogers School
1 Citywide Parent Council                            Richard Howe, Jr., Chair
1 Special Education PAC                     George Peterson, President
1 Lowell Plan                                      James J. Cook, Executive Director
1 UML                                                Dr. Don Pierson, Dean

By my count, at least five (and maybe more) of the above were parents of children in the Lowell public schools at that time.
