Friday memo from September 9
Not nearly as much interesting stuff in the Friday memo this week when compared to last week.
In fact, a lot of the content for this week is recycled from the previous week.
It does, however, include an odd letter from Michael Tolley about delayed start for kindergarten addressed to "Dear Parents" with this sentence: "We appreciate the efforts you are undertaking to support your children in their schooling and the larger school community at BF Day, who are benefiting from your wife’s involvement in school leadership."
I don't know who edits the Friday memo, but it feels like an early draft. There are a lot of odd sentences and organizational choices.

Comments
Lip service continues to be given by the Board and Superintendent toward the goal of the elimination of the opportunity/disproportionality gap and yet the Board approved resolutions that contribute to it and postponed the resolution that included the improvement of Indian education. They continue to ignore the resumption of the District Data Profile document. They continue to ignore the Disproportionality Task Force recommendations. They approve documents that contain the continuation of out of school student suspensions for non violent offenses and they allowed the perpetuation of racial imbalance in the district. Why?
Not Helping
too true
What false racial imbalance? Is the disproportionate discipline false? Is the disproportionate referral to Special Education false? Is the disproportionate participation in advanced learning false? Is the disproportionate pass rates on state proficiency tests false? Which racial imbalance is false?
Not helping
Attribution analysis and discussion of the roots of the imbalances are another topic.
Acknowledging the imbalances does not constitute "race baiting". What's the alternative? To deny or ignore the imbalances? How would that help?
What do you mean by "progressive race baiting modus operandi being outed." Let's have a discussion. Please identify yourself, or contact me personally. carolmsim@yahoo.com
