NOW. MONTHS OF FRUSTRATIONS BUBBLE OVER INTO FULL BLOWN ANGER IN DEARBORN HEIGHTS
TONIGHT REQUESTING THE IMMEDIATE
RESIGNATION OF TYRONE WEEKS AND
LATONYA GATORS. THE SUSPENSION
OF THE PRINCIPAL AT ANNAPOLIS
HIGH SCHOOL IS THE FUSE THAT
BLEW MULTIPLE ISSUES WIDE OPEN.
THANKS FOR BEING WITH US. I’M
KIMBERLY GILL DEVIN SCILLIAN
GOOD EVERYWHERE. THIS OFF THE
TOP OF 11. IT IS THE POINT TO
THE MICHIGAN EDUCATION
ASSOCIATION PUT OUT A CALL NOW
TO ACTION FROM ITS MEMBERS. MARA
MACDONALD LIVE IN DEARBORN
HEIGHTS TONIGHT, MARA TEACHERS
SHOWED UP IN DROVES. THEY SURE
DID PICKETING AROUND THE SCHOOL
, AND I WOULD SUGGEST THAT THIS
ISN’T JUST ABOUT PEOPLE BEING
ANGRY ANYMORE. THIS IS
PROGRESSED TO RAGE. HOME. THE
TEACHERS SAY THEY’RE AT THEIR
BREAKING POINT IN THE ISSUES ARE
MANY, BUT THE CENTRAL
INCONSISTENT THEME IS THERE IS
NO TRUST QUALITY ADMINISTRATORS
HAVE BEEN SHOVED OUT THE DOOR
AND COMMUNICATION IS POOR, AND
THEY PLACED THE BLAME ON
SUPERINTENDENT TYRONE WEEKS. HE
IS A BULLY. HE THREATENS,
INTIMIDATES AND HARASSES THE
TEACHERS. THE PAIR OF
PROFESSIONAL STAFF AND THE
SECRETARIES IN THIS DISTRICT.
ALL OF THIS STIRRED UP AFTER
ANNAPOLIS HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL
AARON MELLETTE WAS PUT ON A
SUSPENSION THAT HAS BEEN
EXPLAINED. NO ONE PARENTS ARE
LIVID. I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT’S
HAPPENING. IT’S BEEN ALMOST TWO
WEEKS SINCE HE HAS BEEN REMOVED
. TOMORROW WILL BE TWO WEEKS AND
NOBODY KNOWS WE HAVE NO CLUE ALL
OF THE FRUSTRATION SPILLING OUT
INTO TONIGHT’S BOARD MEETING. I
HAVE ONE SIMPLE QUESTION. WHEN
IS MR MALIK GOING TO COME BACK?
BOARD AND SUPERINTENDENT HAD NO
ANSWERS. NOT FOR THE STUDENTS
WHO ASKED AFTER THEIR PRINCIPAL
OR THE MYRIAD TEACHERS WHO CAME
TO THE MIKE WOULD YOU PUT AARON
MELLETTE ONLY WHEN HIS STAFF AND
STUDENTS SEE THEM THE MOST? WHY
DID IT TAKE FOUR DAYS TO
COMMUNICATE ANYTHING TO THE
STAFF AND COMMUNITY ABOUT
AIRMALL? ITS ABSENCE? WHY DO WE
NOT TAKE THE TIME TO GET TO KNOW
OUR STAFF OR AT LEAST THE NAME
THE BOARD WAS PERILOUSLY CLOSE
TO LOSING COMPLETE CONTROL OF
THE MEETING OF ORDER. I AM
CONDUCTING A MEETING AND I WOULD
LIKE TO HAVE THIS BECK. YOU’RE
ALIVE. IT WAS TENSE IN THERE FOR
THE MAJORITY OF THE EVENING. I
DON’T THINK MOST PEOPLE GOT ANY
ANSWERS TO ANY OF THEIR
QUESTIONS. AND THE MEA TELLS ME
THERE IS LIKELY TO BE A VOTE OF
CONFIDENCE IN THIS
ADMINISTRATION. AND IF THIS WAS
ANY INDICATION THAT’S GOING TO
BE A VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE. LIVE
IN DEARBORN HEIGHTS TONIGHT. I’M
MARA MACDONALD LOCAL 4 QUITE AN
EVENING. ALL RIGHT. MARA A MAN
IN CUSTODY AFTER TWO SEPARATE
ATTACKS THIS MORNING IN MACOMB
COUNTY. TONIGHT WE’RE SPEAKING
TO THE FAMILY OF ONE OF THE
VICTIMS WHO WAS STABBED TO
DEATH. L TIRE IN ROSEVILLE,
SEEMINGLY AT RANDOM. JACQUELINE
FRANCIS LIVE AFTER TALKING WITH
THE WOMAN’S HUSBAND. JACQUELINE
HE’S STILL JUST TRYING TO MAKE
SENSE OF THIS, WHICH IS
SENSELESS. DE’VEON THAT WHOLE
FAMILY IS REELING TONIGHT SHE’LL
PARTIALLY WAS BRUTALLY ATTACKED
BY A MAN WITH A KNIFE WHILE
FILLING HER TIRES UP WITH AIR
THIS MORNING, THERE APPEARS TO
BE NO RHYME OR REASON FOR WHY HE
PICKED HER OR WHY HE PICKED THE
MAN HE ATTACKED SHORTLY
THEREAFTER AGAIN WITH THAT SAME
KNIFE. REMEMBER THE LAST THING
YOU SAID TO HER? AND I WISH I
GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND THE EYES.
BE CAREFUL WHAT HAPPENED?
PARSLEY IS REPLAYING EVERY
DETAIL OF THE LAST TIME HE SAW
HIS WIFE, 60 YEAR OLD CHERYL
RYAN PARSLEY DROPPED HIM OFF AT
HIS BUS STOP FOR WORK AROUND SIX
THIS MORNING. HE KNEW FROM THERE
, SHE WAS HEADED TO FILL UP HER
TIRES. CHOCKING ME OFF, SHE
SAID, BABE, I’M GO GET AIR. I
SAID, WELL, I GOT MONEY FOREVER
PULLING HIM. NO, IT’S FREE
THERE. I WISH I WOULD HAVE NEVER
LET HER GO. POWER. THE STOPPED
AND PAID FOR IT. SHE WOULDN’T BE
ALIVE RIGHT NOW IS GETTING AIR
AT THE BELL TIRE ON GRATIOT NEAR
14 MILE IN ROSEVILLE, WHEN A MAN
CAME UP FROM BEHIND, STABBING
HER MULTIPLE TIMES WITH A
HUNTING KNIFE. CHERYL DIED FROM
THE ATTACK MY WIFE FOR 23 YEARS
, BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED
TO ME. LARRY SAID THE MOTHER OF
FOUR WAS LOVED BY ALL AND THE
STABBING APPEARED TO BE RANDOM.
FROM THERE, THE SUSPECT ATTACKED
A SECOND VICTIM. THIS TIME, A
MAN WAITING FOR A BUS AND ST
CLAIR SHORE’S HE’S EXPECTED TO
SURVIVE. HOURS LATER, THE
SUSPECT WAS CAUGHT AND TAKEN
INTO CUSTODY IN THE GUY. I SEEN
HIM PICK APART SHOP, PICTURE HIM
, SHOVING THEM AND COP CAR, BUT
THAT’S ALL I KNOW. VERY LITTLE
INFORMATION HAS BEEN RELEASED
ABOUT THAT SUSPECT IN CUSTODY.
WE EXPECT TO LEARN MUCH MORE,
INCLUDING HIS NAME AND THE
CHARGES HE’S POTENTIALLY FACING
IN THE DAYS TO COME REPORTING
LIVE IN ROSEVILLE, JACQUELINE
