[quote=Anonymous][quote]Dramatically simplify the 4-scale, 24 step pay system for teachers, which extends top pay so far out that teachers never see it. The scale is a fraud. No step above 12 is even budgeted for the average position, 13 for special ed.

Quit the new building projects - all of them except for the ones that are almost finished. First, maintain and build out existing facilities. At least four schools are condemnation-level right now and the school board has known it for ears. Why weren’t there summer construction bids taken in the most critical work?

For performance measurement, look at TC and find out where the failing students are coming from. Quit the constant measurement in elementaries and middles. Pay attention to those elementaries whose graduates are flunking at TC. That’s where the weakness starts.

Right now, today, declare a 20% cut in the total number of CO personnel. Require consolidations of positions and elimination of multi-layer reporting structures. Implement by September 30. If a job is not necessary but the person is useful, transfer the person. The CO never educated anybody.

Eliminate the school board salary and go to an expenses-only system for all members. [/quote]

As someone working in ACPS at the boots-on-the-ground level, I don't see instructional recommendations from you that would significantly improve our educational results.  All I see is "pay attention to those elementaries whose graduates are flunking at TC."  I like that idea, but I want specifics. I'm happy to rally support for ideas that will work.  What are your ideas? What should a new board do?[/quote]
