Newark City Schools quandary over where to educate students while the high school campus is being rebuilt is the subject of an Advocate report (1/10/10).
It says administrators favor spending another half-million-or-so tax dollars on renting 16 classroom buidlings.
Another option, would be to schedule split sessions - difficult, but doable, the report says. The problem with that is “it ... hurts your activities” and the administration would have to “manipulate (its) staff so that everybody’s happy.”
This is the kind of fiscally irresponsible crap that property owners and income-tax payers are tired of hearing from NCS administrators.
We don’t care about your activities or your convenience, and we had hoped that a new superintendent and a new treasurer and a couple new board members might make a difference in the NCS attitude toward spending taxpayers’ money.
This is not a good omen.

I agree. No clue that money is tight. They can fix the inconveniences after they fix the core problems.
ReplyDeleteSo far I've seen this and the issue of uniforms brought up. Nothing that works on the core educational problems, just chair rearrangements.
