April Fools and other School Board Employees

Well it appears the inmates are running the asylum. Word is out that the school board offered a new contract through 2014 to the worst leader DPS ever had. I can see Mr, Christopher turning over in his grave. What a shame that the board is so clueless as to what is happening to the district. I think it’s interesting that the salary for the new year was not revealed. Do you think the employees might just be a little perturbed that their concrete queen is getting a raise while they have been without one for three years? Is anyone really surprised at the lack of leadership on the part of the school board? Well readers it is time again for the DPS Darwin Awards! This award goes to the dumbest, most wasteful decision, project, or program in DPS. Yes I know there are so many to choose from but each year I try to narrow it down to one. This year, due to the tight budget, the award has more meaning then in other years. Send your nominations to savetheschools2@aol.com. Remember to include as much information as possible. As always, your identity will be protected. So write up those nominations and get them in by April 20. How much is that wall in front of Galileo? The wall along the street is being replaced with really nice landscape block. After several calls it was confirmed that the city is paying for the work and not the school board. I guess so since the city still owns the Galileo site even though the school board has invested almost $1 million in the building. I bet a lot of landlords would love to get a tenant invest that much money in their building!!!
