ReplyDeleteIt is my understanding from off campus conversations with my former colleagues at the high school that my transfer (and firing from summer school where tenure does not count) proved that nobody's job is secure, that geometry, my subject for 17 years is being taught by two permanent substitutes, that the math department is in shambles and that morale in general is at an all time low.
ReplyDeleteAnd for those of you that do not care about our organization, remember that Ms. Winters refused to give permission to a staff member to speak to me during discovery, held back her report for half a year after the former attorney promised it, did not agree to testify in the only tribunal for which the constitutionality of Lakewood funding can be heard until I went to Superior Court to ask for an order but somehow she had time to go to an Asbury Park Press interview and to bring the kids to Trenton to cry about the funding.
It is a waste of $800,000 in taxpayer dollars when after I win I will fight to have her removed. The state is not just going to fork over $50 million to Lakewood every year to maintain the status quo. At any rate, I am going to continue going to court until we have effective leadership. It's not just about funding, but about the delivery of education.
You are the stewards of our public institutions. The shortsightedness of the bosses to protect their $40 million in Title I, Ch. 192 and 193 (which nobody is threatening) undermines any potential for visionary, innovative and inspirational leadership that can take a $250 million organization and build it into an infrastructure of opportunity and an engine of growth for our kids, our young people and all of posterity. Instead we will be stuck with mediocrity, status quo, and subservience.
