From the same link, we see we have a new local blogger interested in our local education agency of Hillsborough County Public Schools.
Here is the link: Hills Board
To my knowledge, I have never met Mr. Schmidt just as I have never met any of the other local bloggers. The layout of the website is catchy and reminds me of what most of the people who are connected to some type of political job have, but that is just my opinion.
This statement got my attention:
Hills Board: Board Salaries:"I will guarantee you now, if the Hillsborough district goes to salary reductions and/or layoffs, raucous board meeting will be a norm, and those less senior teachers and support staffers who make less than $40,900 yearly will looking to vent their outrage."
Sounds good to me.
What I am interested in seeing is will the Hillsborough Association Of Administrators discuss or try to devise some scheme to address those of the above who will be creating a raucous board meeting in the same fashion as they wanted to address the parents from Alafia Elementary? Will those who are venting their outrage cause a reduction in the number of applicants for administrative jobs?
These concerns can be seen here:
"D. President’s Report – Elsa TuggleItems for the Superintendent’s Roundtable for December 10th: (1) Is there anything that principals/HASA can do to help deal with parents who address the School Board in opposition to the principal of their school? Discussion determined that the School Board meeting is a public forum and nothing can be done to keep parents from speaking to the Board. Early intervention and initially directing parents to Assistant Superintendents or Area Directors works in other situations.
Recent situations, however, escalated past the point of early intervention well in advance of the School Board meeting that was attended. It was suggested that the administrator receiving the brunt of the criticism be assured of support from their
professional association and colleagues. Perhaps broaching the subject at the annual School Board Forum would be an option. Data on the lack of applicants applying for vacancies could be compared to prior years and information provided to the School Board."
