Thes...I agree completely with the previous comment. These comments are right on and very well communicated. It truly is a shame that Dr. White is saddled with the "chameleon administrators" and their presence will impact Dr. White's developing relationships with our teachers and staff. I hope everyone takes these circumstances into consideration and allows Dr. White to do his due diligence and evaluation of the "chameleons." Hopefully, the "chameleons" won't be around much longer and the issues around student learning can be addressed quickly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5961215159419443702.post-32338055907379738272014-05-30T02:53:54.550-05:002014-05-30T02:53:54.550-05:00While it never seems like a good idea to call for ...While it never seems like a good idea to call for any person's ouster directly, the degree to which all the district level staff has failed to fufill their duties is striking. The recent fiasco regarding facilities would seem reason enough to oust all the district's staff in that area, including the business officer. As confusion still reigns in important curricular matters it is hard not to also call for their replacement.<br /><br />Surely all senior staff should give the superintendent the courtesy of assembling his own team. No doubt that was in the minds of those that have left;others that seem to have been unable to find a new position appear to have morphed their position to suit their own ends instead of fulfilling the role to which they've been hired ought to be the subject of extensive scrutiny by the new superintendent -- it is not enough that they may be filling a new role, are they the best person to serve the district given such chameleon-like ability to re-shape themself? <br /><br />Unfortunately the decision of the BOE to put district level staff under contract before the new superintendent was able to offer input may place the district in the unpleasant position of needing to "buy out" staff that is incompatible with the new leader. This also puts Dr. White in a position that may alter his relationship with other staff...<br /><br />Ultimately the most important thing is that the district addresses pressing issues that impact student learning in an appropriate way. The less time wasted with staff that has their own agenda the better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5961215159419443702.post-31751426218480144632014-05-29T22:35:46.391-05:002014-05-29T22:35:46.391-05:00If Schneider and Benaitis received raises, it will...If Schneider and Benaitis received raises, it will truly show how pathetic the BOE is and their warped sense of reality. Notice how quiet Schneider has been lately? Can't rock the boat now with a new boss at the helm. He should be sweating bullets, given his previous job performance, as should Benaitis.

Since everyone else "jumped ship," I guess no one wanted Kurt and Dawn! It would be excellent if Dr. White could bring in a whole new group of administrators of his choice. Frisch should go, too. As demonstrated by his leadership on the Facilities Committee, Frisch doesn't have the work ethic necessary in D181. He is mediocre at best!

Why was this allowed? He was originally hired to run the Special Ed department. What possible qualifications does he have to participate in the HCHTA contract negotiations? Has everyone lost their minds?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
