PSD150 NCLB middle school CHOICE application FY13

Although four (4) "choices" for a middle school making AYP are listed, Calvin Coolidge is the only one shown not "Pending AYP Results." Hat tip to tls1995 for sharing the NCLB letter.(click images to enlarge)

For some reason the blog gets a huge response when I post a photo of Hello Kitty. Anyhow...

Word is that Monday nights BOE meeting may be a barn burner, with many feeling that the Superintendent and the BOE may have finally pushed people to their limit. People are expected to picket and protest out in front of Administration and the meeting is expected to be packed. 

What's on the Agenda that has people so riled up this time? The decision to move principals Annette Coleman (Glen Oak) and Kevin Curtin (Irving) back into the classroom, along with the decision not to renew assistant principal Paul Monrad's (Glen Oak) contract.

Last week, NAACP President, Donald Jackson said that they would be reviewing some of the Administrations recent decisions. You may recall that previously the NAACP had expressed concern about what the District was doing to qualify long term staff that they had previously been successful in attracting.

"It's not just one or two people in the community who are concerned," said Don Jackson, president of the local chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. He said members of the chapter are meeting Thursday to discuss a response. pjstar

It's said that folks feel it is time for BOE President, Linda Butler and company to have their feet held to the fire. To date, only BOE members Rick Cloyd and Martha Ross have spoken out here and there about decisions that Administration have made, with the rest of the BOE appearing to have remained silent. However, it is believed that there may be other BOE members who have lost confidence in the Superintendent but have not yet voiced their opinions publicly.

We shall see.
