A school closing plan that is not. The reading program selection process is characterized by threats, fixed votes and confusion. Linden-McKinley teachers are demeaned without fact or reason. The actions of in-school police are challenged. Zero tolerance is questioned.
Hundreds are staff reduced for new, ill-conceived programs.
Also at Beatty Park, a fine teacher who is acting properly as required by law, is maligned. Finally, there are the continuing inane actions of certain school board members. It doesn't leave us with much confidence. Perhaps the break will allow time for contemplating what has been going on. The spiral of decline could change, but only through positive, supportive actions.
