[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most ISSs are useless positions.  They don’t do anything that positively impacts schools.  At best they are neutral, at worst they hinder learning through mandates that are a waste of time.  Literally wasting your children’s instructional time so thry can look like their job it’s important.  [/quote]

Without Instructional Supts, you'd be at the mercy of the principal, as they would not be managed. Be careful what you ask for.[/quote]

Yes. We would be without a mid-level manager position.   Given DC’s budget issues that seems like a good layer to go[/quote]

The Instructional Supt's are key for keeping the principals on track, especially for the many behind-the-scene things that you'd know nothing about. How do you think schools stay in sync with one another? The opening and closing on time with all of the materials and supplies ordered on time. Staffed and ready to meet the needs of children. It doesn't happen by itself as most principals are pretty tired themselves at the end of the year. The district office is busy handling much larger issues like budgets, buildings, compliance, etc. and that leaves no one to monitor the progress of the schools. Also, speaking from a parent standpoint, the Instructional Superintendents are the principal's supervisor. If you have a concern or feel as if you need support, they are your go-to otherwise you can take a number and get in line to speak to the district. It's sad to hear and see someone who didn't get their way go on to slander. I hope that your students get a fair chance.[/quote]
