Enrollment has not gone down. It went up.
It’s really annoying when folks make people reapply for their jobs. It waste time, especially HR’s, creates unnecessary resentment, and prolongs the process. Just downsize whatever position(s) you don’t feel are necessary. It’s a weak leadership move.
No in fact it is a test to test HR, can those in HR do their jobs.
Actually it’s not. It just makes HR go through a bunch of paperwork and then sourcing, interviewing, negotiation, potential on-boarding,etc. Particularly if you mostly satisfied with some of the people doing the job. And that doesn’t deal with the tension it creates in staff who also won’t feel that their jobs are safe from the same.

LOL Essie Mcguire is not cleaning house. She is old news. She lies, covers up and withholds information. Taylor is not cleaning up anything. This week he could not even answer direct questions fron councilmembers.
What are you talking about? I watched the hearing and Taylor received positive remarks from several councilmembers for his candor, transparency and forthrightness.
They were pretty much
fawning over him.
No go back and listen ti what he actually said. When asked direct questions he gave word salads and did not answer.
I'll have to rewatch. What I saw the first time was councilmember after councilmember applauding Taylor for the change in energy, openness and communication.

The obvious answer to that question is no. I'll be glad to see April Key gone from the system.

We cannot have an honest school system with any of the dishonest chiefs remaining in their roles. Everyone in the system knows how dishonest they are. Bringing them back undermines the entire school system. Whatever's left of it anyway.

He can’t just fire people because of MCAAP. So this is the only way around that.
He can downsize because of budget reasons and move people to different positions. Especially when central office was put on notice in October to find reductions in their budgets.

Chief Equity and Development Officer
Chief Student Support Officer
Chief Academic Officer
Chief Operations Officer
Chief Technology Officer
General Counsel
So is this position, Chief Equity and Development Officer , the one that is responsible for closing the gap by reducing everyone to the lowest possible level and eliminating opportunities for advancement?
