Among the hilights - creating an office of school transformation, lots of bright pictures and celebration, and a variety of phased initiatives which are linked to the council of great city schools recommendations. Also metrics for tracking progress.
Is this the answer to improvement within the PPS? "

Remove the teachers' union?

Disruptive students

"Nina Esposito just sent out another disgusting "bide my time" email regarding the lack of options when dealing with disruptive students and claiming in the same email that teachers don't want students suspended necessarily. She's right. We want them thrown out. Nina, what's Clayton? Isn't that an option? To her,no. Her option is to send out a survey so she can read the findings three months later when school is over. How many students are enrolled in Clayton, Nina? Is it filled to capacity as it should be? Answer: not even close. Nina, you are weaker than the Student Code of Conduct handbook. "
