As the school year comes to an end I hope we don’t forget these gaffs by the Duval County School Board

Duval Partners
Giving away our intervene schools and millions of dollars to an EMO because they couldn’t come up with solutions
Schools of the Future
The Bank of America School
Low teacher Morale
Expansion of TFA despite the fact we know the business model is bad
One of the worse graduation rates in the state
8 of the bottom 25 high schools (middle schools just as bad)
Grade Recovery
A lack of discipline
A lack of rigor
Allowing KIPP to expand despite a lack of improvement
Shoving all kids regardless of aptitude or desire into a one size fits all curriculum
160 million hidden dollars
The misuse of title one funds
The addition of a dozen new administrators and district staff
Standing silent on the FCAT while school board after school board comes out against it
Hiring and Paying Nancy Bronner 10-25K for hosting a half dozen community meetings
Firing the super in the dark (firing him was a good idea, hiding it from the public wasn’t)
