Why is senor Hawkins and Seum not on the agenda. Surely there are scary things in this area we should be made aware of.
I like senor Hawkins’ hat

Getting rid of Sheldon Berman is the first step. He’s just about as competent as Daeschner was in the final years. Which isn’t saying much. In fact, its time for most of the JCPS Board to be replaced by some thoughtful and intelligent people who are interested in true reform and figuring out why Louisville schools finished 118th in the state of 154 school districts as was released by the US Department of Education. Pretty sad when the most prosperous and economically largest bloc in Kentucky has schools worse than some of the rural schools in poor regions.
In fact, lets get Berman a termination letter soon that way maybe they can put a replacement in by January 1st and then a new superintendent next year.
