[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please read the letter more carefully. People are upset about a culture of fear and retaliation where people are at risk of losing their jobs if they speak up about unjust practices. There is one small part about clocking in and clocking out, but the larger narrative is about an organization run by power and authority. The DP Coordinator, who is beloved by students, parents, and staff, did not get his contract renewed. Students started a petition to have it reinstated, and it has over 700 signatures. He was let go because he sometimes questioned harmful practices. Ask any individual at the school or any parent or student who worked with him. He is one of the most competent people there. That is the culture of the current leadership. Don't ask questions or you're gone. No matter how effective you are at your job. Teaching is hard enough, people. 94% of voting staff do not have confidence in his leadership! Clearly this is about more than clocking in and clocking out.[/quote]

If I’m gonna ask for anyone to lose their job, I want a list- a bullet point list- of harmful practices,

No one is being specific, at all. [/quote]

You could read the staff's letter. Or the petitions. You could also read this 2018 City Paper investigation into TenSquare, a DC charter school consulting firm. Six-figure contracts with no transparency requirements, board members with undisclosed vendor relationships, principals silenced with NDAs, and a PCSB that explicitly exempted the firm from financial oversight.

Sound familiar? It should because the Board Chair and the ED are running the same playbook. Exploit the schools, benefit from it, and cause irreparable damage to the schools.
