LOL Essie Mcguire is not cleaning house. She is old news. She lies, covers up and withholds information. Taylor is not cleaning up anything. This week he could not even answer direct questions fron councilmembers.

Chief Equity and Development Officer

Chief Student Support Officer

Chief Academic Officer

Chief Operations Officer

Chief Technology Officer

General Counsel

So is this position, Chief Equity and Development Officer , the one that is responsible for closing the gap by reducing everyone to the lowest possible level and eliminating opportunities for advancement?

Enrollment has not gone down. It went up.

It’s really annoying when folks make people reapply for their jobs. It waste time, especially HR’s, creates unnecessary resentment, and prolongs the process. Just downsize whatever position(s) you don’t feel are necessary. It’s a weak leadership move.

He can’t just fire people because of MCAAP. So this is the only way around that.

He can downsize because of budget reasons and move people to different positions. Especially when central office was put on notice in October to find reductions in their budgets.

What are you talking about? I watched the hearing and Taylor received positive remarks from several councilmembers for his candor, transparency and forthrightness.

They were pretty much fawning over him.

No go back and listen ti what he actually said. When asked direct questions he gave word salads and did not answer.

Make admin and desk job co trolls go back to teaching. Also, fire the people who were involved in broomstick rape cover ups who got promoted under the previous regimes.

We cannot have an honest school system with any of the dishonest chiefs remaining in their roles. Everyone in the system knows how dishonest they are. Bringing them back undermines the entire school system. Whatever's left of it anyway.

No in fact it is a test to test HR, can those in HR do their jobs.

The obvious answer to that question is no. I'll be glad to see April Key gone from the system.

I'll have to rewatch. What I saw the first time was councilmember after councilmember applauding Taylor for the change in energy, openness and communication.

Actually it’s not. It just makes HR go through a bunch of paperwork and then sourcing, interviewing, negotiation, potential on-boarding,etc. Particularly if you mostly satisfied with some of the people doing the job. And that doesn’t deal with the tension it creates in staff who also won’t feel that their jobs are safe from the same.
