[quote=Anonymous]I understand things are better than 10 years ago but they still aren't good. - How many damaged (ie fired/quit from other districts) have led DCPS under this one Mayor? - Why can't the Council do effective oversight on basic things like how many nurses and librarians schools have? - Why are school modernizations still being used as political tools? Sometimes it is easier for a group of people to make "hard decisions." If the Mayor changes the school boundaries, it could cost her the election. If a board changes school boundaries, it might cost some of them their elections but they could share that risk. The other thing is public education should be a bit more steady and changes should be like steering a ship. Mayoral control leads to a lot of sharp turns and means that DCPS does not have to do long term planning well (because the Mayor doesn't care about DCPS in 2030).[/quote]
