Do you think that cancellation was a good idea for "equity" reasons and helped children of color? Do you all think it is a good idea to permanently reduce the number of school days?

He wasn’t the superintendent for the last part of the 2019-20 school year.

Nothing with actual substance. If there was a plan or actual info, someone should be able to provide a link. It doesn't exist.

There is no plan with real metrics or steps. There is only puffery. For that reason alone Duran needs to get out.

There are a variety of tools available for schools to come up with individual plans for each student based on their needs - each student requires different interventions.

Exactly. APE doesn't understand how APS classrooms work, how many resources our schools have to provide interventions. That's the plan. Be good schools that provide interventions when needed. But then APE has an agenda of tearing down APS so they're going to stick with their "no plan" talking point.

Yes an intervention for an ENTIRE grade level is a plan. And I’m the clueless one.

This might be a problem that screaming DEI at might not solve.

Not APE and sorry that doesn’t fit your narrative but when most of our students are behind and there is a huge learning loss the plan is just individual interventions by staff?!?!??? Sorry I think we need more than that it is a HUGE problem.

Sorry, well, then it sounds like YOU don't understand how teaching and learning work. Maybe talk to your principal.

Does PP even have a kid in APS?

No. Or he or she is totally uninvolved and clueless.

Teacher compensation has stagnated while administrative positions keep being added at Syphax with in sight. Our kids cannot go another school year with him at the helm. He is steering APS into a death spiral which it may not recover from.

Most of what you are saying either was an issue before he arrived, some of which he is already working to change, or pandemic related which really, can’t be all his fault. I appreciate that he has begun to identify issues and solve problems that were created long before he came to APS.

The disaster called VLP was 100% under his watch. That alone should be enough to show he must go.

VLP was NOT a disaster for us. It wasn't perfect, but it wasn't a disaster.
