I have another "what if":
The *former* administrator being referred to is Dr. Gordon. Let's just not beat around the bush. The accusation now is he *knew* about the testing irregularities--presumably while still in his job. If this is true and anyone knows that he knew....well let me interrupt myself.
Gordon has been gone since November. There has been testing since then. Even if there wasn't cheating recently (and I'm not saying there was), the posted accusations mean that Gordon knew about, someone *knew* he knew about it, and the testing was allowed to take place this year regardless.
Seems to me, if what everyone is saying about Dr. Gordon knowing about this has any hint of truth, the entire board of education--up to the recent replacements--would have some serious explaining to do.
oh brother speakout. Not another one of you that have to make everything in this world about god.Get a grip please.God has nothing to do with the subject.
Whew, good thing we are all disguised by screen names.
Some of you are being down right mean... It is not necessary to take this situation out on each other. What is the solution? How can the parents along w/ school officials work together?
I know.... Go to the SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS.
But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
We have denied God by removing him from our schools and from our public bodies. May God have mercy on those who deny him!
Intrigued,
Our former superintendent is a nice man but he slipped up on the investigation of the MAP cheating. He was afraid we would lose our accreditation with the state. Mr. Quick is a highly respected past administrator. He is a nice retired experienced administrator who was hired until a new superintendent could be found. We are so lucky that he is the one that is here. So far I have found him to be a very fair and intelligent man.
