Why You Should Care Mr. Crabill has found quite the acolyte in Director Chandra Hampson. In the course of discussions over SOFG, she says his name over and over, "A.J .says we...." Now that's not too surprising given the direction the district is heading and that it is Mr. Crabill's work with the Council of Great City Schools is how we got here. But it appears that Mr. Crabill is working very closely with Hampson and we know she wields some amount of power over the majority of the Board.

The district had to come up with an internal procedure manual, because the old "let every employee fly by the seat of their pants" manual wasn't working out so good for all involved. And guess what, yes, they did have to pay someone to do it, because they were not capable of doing it themselves.
