NORTH SIDE COACH A SEXUAL PREDATOR!

North Side High School has become the good ol boys club led by Ramos and protected by his nemesis Principal Martinez.

If you have not read, read what this student has to say about the environment of sexual harassment allowed by FWISD.  Children are suffering!

PREDATOR 

HOUSE OF CARDS ON STEROIDS

The district never ceases to amaze in the debacles and complete denigration of values or whatever you want to call them.

With staff being placed in other schools and hiring outside of the district to say that it is because people will retire or leave and they need to recruit.  How do you recruit when you have more than 100 people hanging in the balance?  They are doing a purge from what it looks like because any sensible person would see it as a no brainer.

Now comes this soap opera show at the board meeting of the dinosaurs fighting each other.  Does it really matter who ends up president?  They vote for each other and they are surprised at the results?  It was a show and nothing more!

911! STAFFING

Just today.....

So principals are upset that Leadership has completely taken over the process of staffing and hiring.  HCM and Budget were uninvited to the meetings for whatever reason.  So Washington and the directors are now in charge of the cutting which means more preferential treatment for their own people.  It seems now that they are going against any established protocol that has been in place for years.  Principals have no voice or choice in hiring anymore.

TOP ADMIN COMMITS STAAR IRREGULARITY

The deafening ears in Fort Worth would not have caught a top admin taking pictures of a STAAR test and tell the public because it is hidden under the rug.  But had it been a teacher, he or she would of been fired, picture in the paper and a whole life destroyed.  So this Washington protege is none other than Deborah Traylor.  She was at Morningside, apparently, watching testing when their side says she was not happy at the way testing was going.  So she took out her phone and started taking pictures of kids and the test.  Teachers were asked to write statements because according to the law, that is an irregularity and violation.  So now we have more criminals masquerading as directors and supervisors to join the Wall of Shame in FWISD.

Will we see it in the paper?  Does TEA know about this?

FWISD CUTS TEACHERS TO PAY TOP ADMIN AND MORE LITIGATION

We already know that Scribner lied about investing in students and teachers by adding six million more dollars to the top.  What we have is a sleepy public who is not willing to challenge the regime at all.  We have seen some comments on facebook about starting to push a bit but during elections we only see the same apathy.

Now with the Palazzolo case, a trial date has been set in July and what tactic has FWISD come up with?  Nothing but another appeal which is laughable.  Regardless of what it contains FWISD is paying for it so some of that money to cut teachers is going to Brandt the lawyer.  The coffers are only for friends, family and lawyers in FWISD.  What a gift to teachers during teacher appreciation week.  Teachers, expect a cheap trinket from the dollar store if that!

WHAT'S UNDER THE FWISD RUG?

This dead horse has been beaten enough that it is still dead and that horse is FWISD.  It seems things keep getting worse and worse with no slim hope of things changing.

We have seen this new 8 period/ 45 minute teaching time that is to improve teaching and learning.  We are not a PHD as some admin are but that surely did not help them to realize that less time and more periods won't make a difference.  Now, having two periods off to plan and also for PD can work in some instances but not at the expense of bigger classes.  It would also be beneficial when you have a PD department that knows what they are doing and are strategic about how to support staff on stuff that is meaningful and not just a program bought to appease a friend as in LII and such.  If this is the magic solution then why didn't Washington perform the miracle when she was principal?  Did we see the STAAR results change?  What data shows this will completely change things for the benefit of students and teachers?  No one has done their research so the answer is no.

What else do we have under rug....

1. is it unethical for a supervisor to borrow money from his or her employee?

2. Chaos and violent behavior being ignored in the maintenance department under Gil Griffin.

3. Gender and race inequities in hiring practices under Art Cavazos and his departments.

4. Board member's family earning over half a million dollars in scholarships.  In Mexico and the US that is called corruption.  Guess who it is.

5. Who really works 10 hour days during the summer?  Not principals!

6. Why is Needham hiring all of her friends at AHHS without certifications?

7. David Guerra the new Athletic Director was hired yet FWISD spent a fortune on a recruiting firm.  His son attends AHHS so expect the perks to start.

8. Race and Equity training costs millions and nothing has changed.

More and more of the same folks!

CHALE! RAMOS HITS THE JACKPOT AGAIN

One time thing would be like ok maybe that Ramos' son got a TCU scholarship because apparently he deserved it over all other needy students.

And what do you know, son number 2 got the same thing.

There is no shame in that family whatsoever, passing up students who qualified as well and needed it the most.  He is at TCU and he can get favors for it but no.

Said state of affairs friends and no one to stand up to him.  Karma will have to do the job for us!
