Happy Holiday?

Well as this holiday season approaches it gives us time to pause and see what the year has brought. For the students and staff at Danville Public Schools it signals an end to a year of frustration, deceit, and lack of leadership. In honor of all those who have been cheated by the district I give you the Twelve Days Of Christmas at DPS:

On the twelfth day of Christmas DPS gave to me……..
12 months of mismanagement……
On the eleventh day of Christmas DPS gave to me…….
11 tons of rubber mulch…..
On the tenth day of Christmas DPS gave to me…….
10 SOL scores a leaping………(as if by magic they keep changing)
On the ninth day of Christmas DPS gave to me…….
9 central office personnel dancing their way around answers to serious questions..
On the eighth day of Christmas DPS gave to me……..
8 administrators a-milking the taxpayers of the city…..
On the seventh day of Christmas DPS gave to me
7 clueless school board members a swimming in a pond they do not understand.
On the sixth day of Christmas DPS gave to me…..
6 golden geese a laying golden eggs to cash in to pay for their ridiculous projects
On the fifth day of Christmas DPS gave to me…….
5 tons of useless policies…………..
On the fourth day of Christmas DPS gave to me……..
4 calling parents that never get a return call……….
On the third day of Christmas DPS gave to me……………
3 French fries under the new “proportional” feeding policy for free school lunches
On the second day of Christmas DPS gave to me…………
2 ways of doing things…wrong and really wrong
On the first day of Christmas DPS gave to me……
An autocrat where a superintendent leader ought to be……….

Yes folks it is not really a time to be merry. The school district is being held hostage by so called leaders who believe fear and intimidation are management techniques. Maybe the New Year will bring some change but don’t count on it. Ho, Ho, Ho !
