That makes the tenth school so far whose teachers have voted “No Confidence”.
The vote was out of 42 ballots turned in, 4 voted to abstain, 3 voted “confidence” in the superintendent and 35 voted “No confidence” in the superintendent.”
Maybe the school board will start getting the hint soon that our supe is not measuring up.
"American education has a long history of infatuation with fads and ill-considered ideas. The current obsession with making our schools work like a business may be the worst of them, for it threatens to destroy public education. Who will stand up to the tycoons and politicians and tell them so?"

An interesting thought about the Board figuring out that the Superintendent is not measuring up.
The Board is as bad or worse in the measuring up category … so good luck with them ever noticing inadequacies in the Superintendent.
The board sees no inadequacies in the Superintendent Dr. Maria Goodloe-Johnson by a vote of 4-3.
