[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Duran is running this system into the ground. His departments aren't doing their jobs; some departments' jobs are even dubious; the departments are not coordinating or collaborating. APS is an absolute mess. I don't know how the SB can't see that. [/quote] [b]The last sentence is spot on. Central office is a mess. They just add people and each new initiative just adds more to teachers’ plates. They keep making one mistake after another and the burden is placed on school staff. I am an experienced teacher in a hard to staff position. If I wanted to leave now I could get a job anywhere. I won’t because I don’t want to do that to my students and my principal, who I respect. But I made my decision. This is my last year in APS.[/b] [/quote] This could have been written by me... Syphax has been no support to teachers in the bldgs and truly just loading on the busy work to make themselves (bloated workforce, extra office space, etc.) seem necessary. Stop giving teachers more work! Go to the schools and see what is really going on, see how you can help in this massive crisis our school children are experiencing, help to reduce class size so teachers can better meet the needs of their students. Duran should never have given Syphax staff those free days off with pay- how insulting to all the other workers in the system. Now, changing families' health insurance is just one more headache from APS. This is my last year, too, and I am not the only one in my bldg planning their departure.[/quote] I thought no new initiatives this year? [/quote]
