[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Resign and be finally done with the Rhee era. You have caused unnecessary tumult by intimidating principals then sweeping then to the door when they stand up to you --you are not transparent and leave people guessing on financials. You have not figured out how to disperse the bloated populations from Deal Wilson etc or managed to make other under enrolled MS and HS options good enough to draw families-- making high need neighborhood schools excellent was the challenge when Rhee and you took over so many years ago and this mission has failed. The only contribution was to ensure unsustainable numbers  at the "good" schools which will turn them into poor options too, by never taking on Rhee's feeder pattern decision. Rather than toiling in the empty schools to make them better you have carried on Rhee's legacy of pissing on the high performing schools that needed no intervention, rather than gentrifying and selling the newly refurbished buildings all over town. You still feed our kids poison with the awful cafeteria food everywhere while across the river Alexandria schools enjoy healthy physicians approved meals from one of many food service vendors you never sought out--a multi million dollar fiasco with Chartwells proves this area of improvement to the students' minds was far from your own. Have you ever sat down and ate some of the offerings at a local school, and see how you function afterward?  Finally what ever happened to the option of reaching kids in the 3:15 to 6:00 hours, where there is such disparity across town the huge impact a well thought out after school program could make all the difference for kids ?? None of the problems you and Rhee came to fix have been fixed, false test scores have never been properly investigated, t[b]he buildings look shiny and new but you can't take any credit for that, that is facilities management under a different umbrella.[/b] Technology is the one area your team deserves credit, it has vastly improved. Yet the achievement gap has widened and kids are still left behind. Time to hang up your hat and go away.[/quote] The buildings LOOK gorgeous but they are falling apart within the first year. Hand rails fall off the walls. Dry wall that teachers are not allowed to hang items on, mold abatement teaming running all over town, leaks every time it rains, etc. [/quote]
