He signed a 4 year contract and was at WCSD less than 3 years before looking for another position. He leaves Washoe County with a sweet deal. This year WCSD will face a $40 million shortfall--Morrison is getting out while the gettin' is good.

The children are suffering!<br /><br />It is time to investigate why cms security and the police are suppressing reports of discipline problems at Harding. Also ask how many teachers are leaving and how many new hires are staying only a few days. How many staff have had to go out on medical leave or quit because of the stress from the hostile work environment?<br /><br />Teachers are being left out on their own when classes of students become hostile. It is rumored that a teacher threw a chair the other day.<br /><br />Teachers are tired of the bullying and intimidation tactics of the administration so CMS better prepare for a huge turnover of teachers at that school. They are not only leaving Harding, they are leaving the education profession; just ask TFA and Teach Charlotte teachers. Fear of retaliation has kept teachers from letting CMS know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020455191286536580.post-45635553033178293562012-04-25T15:36:42.020-04:002012-04-25T15:36:42.020-04:00Anyone want to start a "diversity" magne...Anyone want to start a "diversity" magnet school?<br /><br />I'd be willing to bet that the only people interested in doing so wouldn't be "diverse" enough to make it work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020455191286536580.post-24254600067225246892012-04-25T08:43:39.781-04:002012-04-25T08:43:39.781-04:00• $1,500 a year for life insurance.

Considering the hoops we've gone through over the years to increase participation rates (some would say dumbing down the standards) perhaps we should just say "Anyone can be declared "gifted" (although maybe just "average gifted") and start participating in the program.

Ericka was all about the "opportunity" gap, now that Ann Clark and Sheila Shirley explained definitively that yes, high poverty schools are getting considerably more funding than suburban schools. Luckily the next report from Ann and TD director dispelled some of that "opportunity gap" talk, by explaining resources available for taking AP and other classes on-line if there are not enough students at a high school requesting that class. Tom Tate brought up assignment, saying the board can do something about it. Joyce couldn't understand much of anything, but most especially why some students do better than others. Especially interesting--Tim, Eric, Rhonda all agreed that high poverty schools need extra resources, but Ericka was not willing to concede in return that suburbs had concerns.
