[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]I have no idea, but given the situation at Coolidge which is pretty difficult, a better question might be [b]why anyone would want the job in the first place[/b]. The school is facing a tremendous number of hurdles, which is sad.[/quote]

Coolidge alum here, and I couldn't agree more. I still live in the neighborhood and couldn’t imagine sending my kids there. Times have definitely changed since the early 90s.

The principal who was hired was from out of state; I think he was promised something very different from afar, the reality is very different. For the most part, the teachers at Coolidge were actually extremely hard working and highly effective but most of them have gradually left as the population had dwindled and the school comprises of mainly special education students, ESL, out of boundary students and a minority of students who do not have behavior issues and just want a good education. Also don't forget there was the Friends of Bedford debacle, the former principal involved in the incident in the parking lot, and now this - morale must be so low for teachers and students that remain.
