[quote=Anonymous]I don't know that any parent has a precise idea of how many people it takes to run a school system the size of APS, but many of us have had enough interactions with Syphax to know that it's not efficient or well managed. If you call or email, you likely won't get a response. The "teaching and learning" materials and apps rolled out to teachers and students are half baked at best. The rezoning and building plans are poorly conceived. The test results we get back are missing any of the background to explain what we're receiving. SOL results aren't shared in a timely manner, leaving families scrambling. Schools that have electrical, plumbing, HVAC, mold or pest problems don't have them fixed for years on end. HR screwed up teacher health insurance this year and takes ages to fill vacancies, despite people saying they've applied with no response from APS. And on top of all that, nearly every decision is allocated to individual schools so Syphax isn't even responsible for that much despite making everyone's lives harder. That makes the perception of bloating so much worse. [/quote]
