We have a major Human Resources problem (tho the District does everything (un)imaginable to keep that a secret).
We went through the whole Jimmy Mac fiasco. 'Nuff said.
There continues to be the unabashed clusterf#@! known as "Policy KG". We have organizations that owe the district large sums of money for using facilities yet they were allowed to continue to use the facilities without paying. And personnel from the organization are district employees!
Joe Palooka is a nice guy. But he's now Facilities' Manager. If it's possible, Buildings and Grounds has become even more of a bitter pill than it has been in the past.
We hear increasing rumblings that High School Principal Lisa Heipp's approval rating has sunk below that of ex-Principal Keats. We hear that she has alienated virtually her entire staff let alone parents and students. She was also the supervisor (and we use that term loosely) for Jimmy Mac.
Phil Frei understands DPI budgeting better than just about anyone else, but his supervisory skills have come into question. Will his performance improve now that he has been relegated into a much smaller box on the org chart?
The school board has been working to re-structure the district office, and most of those dominoes are now in place. Is it time to set off the chain and ultimately tip the primary domino? The "Timino"?All of these embarrassments are part of Dr. Culver's management sandbox. Yet it appears he has no clue that problems even exist. Has he had rose-colored contacts surgically implanted? Or has he just finally ascended to be a prime example of the Peter Principle. Was SPASD small enough back in the early 90's that he once could handle it, but now it has grown to a size he can no longer control? We think so, and we've said as much....many times. Nice guy. Could probably handle a Deerfield or Cambridge district, but he's now out of his league. He needs to retire...or be retired.
As part of the domino chain, we could take out some of the less stellar members of this cast.
