Unless the school board finds someone interested in educating all children and not their own brand and personal agenda, we will continue down the same path we’ve been on all along. A public school district’s philosophy, mission, and reason for being should be
to provide a high quality education for all children. Full stop. Anything else is a distraction. Anti-racism, safety issues, equity issues, all of those mean nothing if you fail to provide a high quality education for everyone. If you somehow managed to provide a high quality education for everyone, it’s because you’ve achieved equity in your schools. Equity isn’t a goal, it’s a means to an end. Safety in schools isn’t a goal, but if you don’t have it, how can you provide a high quality education for everyone when teachers, staff and children aren’t safe?
I’m glad Hutchings is gone, but his biggest cheerleaders and enablers are still there. So I still feel pessimistic about the future of ACPS.
