the truth in black and white part ii
TRANSCRIPT
People are just wondering why someone who makes a decent amount of money ($100,000 + a year) goes around stealing wine?
People are also wondering why a superintendent who is double dipping couldn’t afford to pay his court fees?
If the school superintendent fails to manage his own personal finances, how can he be able to manage a multi-million educational budget?
When the people in charge of managing our public schools lack the basic tools of management every business has, then education suffers:
Well managed money could help in attracting exceptionally dedicated and gifted administrators and teachers .
Some people believe that administrative payroll at Murphy is padded with friends who contributed nothing important to the education of students.
In their search for better teachers, Murphy School District should be able to raise teacher’s salaries and save money by increasing class size, for instance .
There is no doubt that high-need schools such as the Murphy Schools, do not have the highest-quality teachers.
Murphy School children are about as likely to have teachers with degrees beyond a bachelors, as well as teachers with considerable classroom experience.
Conclusion:
Poor management translates to underperforming schools or schools that fail to make Adequate Yearly Progress.
Drastic change in the Murphy School system will have to be mobilized at a much higher level than it is now to overcome the enormously powerful forces that buttress the status quo.
Without consequences, neither the district administrators, nor the schools, nor the students themselves will be motivated to do better.
