ReplyDeleteThis assistant principal from the outside is a new hire? You mean to tell me out of 1,400 employees teaching they couldn't find a qualified assistant principal in house?
There are more problems with this list than one new hire outside. First, there are several who should've never been picked and wouldn't have if they weren't related to former principals or board members. Second, nearly half of them should've been returned to the classrooms or fired out-right because they are extremely poor administrators. But, the good 'ole boy mentality will probably keep them in place until they either retire or die. Thirdly, there are many already inside the WCBOE who are much more deserving but will probably never get the opportunity because of the reasons above. Maybe now that they have a professional HR person, maybe the favoritism will at least slow down, administrators and teachers will be held accountable and better selections will take place. Let's hope so!

ReplyDeleteHow about naming specific people and state your name. Your rant means nothing unless you can back it up with hard facts.
4:58 - while well reasoned, do not expect significant changes to occur. Word of the actions circulates quickly in the school administrative community, and qualified applicants will seek greener pastures in Worcester county as well as just about anywhere else in the state. If nothing else but pay is the rationale for this, but while on the subject - professionalism and opportunity. The standards required for administrators are well documented, and this is precisely the reason that internal staff are not interested. Finally, the actions of Dr. Fredricksen and his senior staff are well documented. Prospective administrators are scared off by this.
