We do a poor job of following NCLB rules because we’ve never set local policy. The policy that should guide is is EHBD Local Which we haven’t touched since 1997. We’re 13 years behind.
On March 2009, without regard to policy, our board voted for “reconstitution plan” at High School under Bobby Parker. Anybody seen the changes? The high school has gone from a 7 period day to a 4 by 4 block back to a seven period day. We turned over about one fourth of the teaching staff – by attrition. We spent a bunch of federal money on a summer 2009 seminar for all the teachers to sit and watch powerpoint slides… This is 'reconstitution'?
Nivens was the principal and is the principal. Better than Randolph, very true. But is the 'strong man' actually making progress on a plan?
It seems to me situation at the high school is so chaotic that 'reconstituting' the place happens whether we want it or not. I suggest we get our planning and budget process under control and constitute a STABLE set up.
