  • Being honest, I'm pretty worried about the health climate at Paul Cuffe. The chronic absenteeism rate is super high, sitting around 40-50%, which tells me kids are either staying home sick constantly or there's just not enough being done to keep the environment healthy. When nearly half the school is missing regular time, it's hard to feel like wellness is a priority. I’ve heard other parents mention the building feels a bit neglected, and with the high student-to-teacher ratio, it doesn't seem like the staff has the bandwidth to manage germs or check in on the kids' well-being properly. It feels more like they are just trying to keep their heads above water rather than actually focusing on a clean or healthy space.
