In the Times Union article about problems at the school for overage children, board member Paula Wright is quoted as saying: “When I visited the school, I learned there has been a change in principals and the school is in turmoil,” Wright said Tuesday. “My concern, first and foremost, is that the students at Schools for the Future are getting a quality education.”
WHEN SHE VISITED THE SCHOOL!?! The changing of a principal midyear isn’t something the superintendent feels the board should know? He couldn’t drop an e-mail; mention it at a meeting, anything?
Thank goodness Mrs. Wright visited the school but why did it take her five
months to get there? Shouldn’t she visit all the schools in her district at least once a month? Shouldn’t they all?
The sad fact is the board doesn’t want to know what’s going on. The only time they get a clue is when they stumble accidently into it. Then they act outraged. The truth is, we should be outraged by them.
I whole-heartedly agree with your assessment of the situation, and I am glad you are running for the Board. While I live in District IV, I wish I could cross districts to vote for you!
