You might not know about this. The Superintendent in her infinite wisdom has had new air conditioning installed in some schools, and the air can not be turned down lower than a certain number. Not sure what temperature. Well, some old schools were built before air conditioning, and the humidity is incredibly high and teachers can't even punch holes into their papers, b/c the papers are so damp. There is mold growing outside hallways and inside rooms. Anyone who has studied science knows that there are life threatening molds, molds that make people sick, and molds that ruin books and supplies. In her attempt to save money for the district she is probably endangering people's health. Students will have to visit the clinic more often causing less academic learning. Teachers will have to take more sick days and go to the doctor costing the district more money.
This is a direct result of what you speak about in your blog. Top positions are filled by incompetent people who don't know how to build schools or renovate schools, and then when they attempt to save money by revamping the air conditioning, they actually lose money in another way. This is an administration that does not know what it is doing. You are so right that they are C students and early childhood people who should never have stopped teaching 1+1=2.

Come on everyone, you know the only reason Linda Kipley lies and intimidates the teachers she deals with is to keep her administrative cover-up skills sharp. Give her a break, she is highly motivated and dedicated to being the worst there is.

Linda Kipley is a home-ec sadist. She enjoys her job of torturing teachers and lower staff. She reminds me of the nurses I used to see during my fifteen years of hospital nursing who gravitated to the pediatric ward to abuse the kids. I swear there's that type of nurse, God help us. Sadists are everywhere.
The thing is that the board knows all about Kipley's dirty work and pretends it doesn't. Kipley gets all Elia's retaliation work and does it with glee. That's why her husband, with not even a college degree of any kind, got the job when there were people who applied for it with excellent credentials that exactly fitted the job description. I imagine Goebells was Hitler's favorite boy too.
Tom Gonzalez promised me three times (he used to like me until I filed the ethics charge against him with the Florida bar) to write up a pamphlet to alert people entering the Professional Standards hell hole to their rights and resources. He stalled and stalled and stalled. Then when I brought up the missing pamphlet in the public forum he claimed he worked for the board, not for Ms. De Cesare. I asked the board to require Gonzalez to fulfill his promise because the teachers needed that information to protect themselves.
Board members sat unmoved and did nothing. The Professional Standards cell block needs hosing down with a citizens' and teachers' committee reviewing it and setting standards for change. But most of all, it needs a new director with appropriate academic credentials not acquired amongst the pots and pans. This is one job that cries out for a psychiatric evaluation before the person is hired. I am not talking about the Minnesota Multiphasic; I am talking about a bona fide clinically adept psychiatrist--the kind that the courts have interview serial killers--to interview the candidate to detect any sadistic tendencies before he or she gets the power to frame and torture teachers and staff.

The board members who were there when Doug Irwin was pushed out should be ashamed of themselves. They had a chance then to clean things up, and they did not. They probably didn't want to rock the boat. Yet how would they feel if they were in Irwin's shoes and could not get anyone to help? I wonder if these board members are capable of feeling shame. Probably not. They are demonstrably shameless.
My scanner is on the fritz, and I must get it fixed to post my last three documents of the Irwin files that I copied. The court files show that the board members were interviewed for the trial. They all knew about the obscene activities that went on and were aware of the torture of Erwin. The leaking, water-logged new schools suggest to me that there must have been payoffs at the board level. If you go to the financial filing for Kurdell, for instance, you see developers and architects listed in the contributors. Why would they contribute to a school-board member running for office? That does not look well. I wrote Kurdell and told her she should turn down such redolent contributions. Something tells me she won't listen to me.
Lamb, Olson, and Kurdell were on the board during the Irwin scandal. They knew what was going on and let it continue-- the rape of the taxpayers by the fixed bids, shoddy school construction, and outright theft. They follow the lead of the ROSSAC collaboraters always. They remain mum to keep their incumbency intact. I do not judge the characters of the new board members--Ethridge, Griffith, Faliera, and Valdes--strong enough to oppose outright murder in the foyer to the board room much less criminal behavior in the ROSSAC inner sactum of skullduggery.
I hope that Gorham beats Kurdell. But he has existed in the HCC Gordon Keller crime cell without blowing any whistles, so my hopes are not high. But he represents the only possibility for change, and his wife is a teacher in the school system. She knows the score, so he must too. He knows where to dig for the bodies.
Knowledge is not enough. I have worked in my professional life in a college environment filled with smart people. But they were not gutsy. I was the designated hit man for them when it came to attacking the administration for behaving badly. Courage is the most rare of qualities. For somebody to get up and say, "Hey, wait a damn minute:this is wrong" is a miracle. These people are usually known as crazy. And considering the guts scale in the world, they probably are. If we could get just one person with guts and a conscience on the board, that would be a turning point. lee

Lamb, Olson, and Kurdell should be ashamed of themselves ignoring Erwin's claims. They are supposed to be watching taxpayer dollars. Why aren't they doing that? Why have a board that allows waste and abuse go on? Why on earth would people re-elect these corrupt and unethical people?
I HAVE to comment on the air as well. My classroom is about 80+ degrees. The air is NOT working, and no one will do a thing about it. When you factor in the heat from bodies, lights, and computers, not to mention the sun pouring in through the windows and the comings and goings, the temperature becomes unbearable. I sweat the ENTIRE day. I am so hot, that my clothes are drenched, and I feel sick! The children complain the entire period. Thanks Ms. Elia!
At my school one teacher has been teaching his class in the media center for weeks, b/c district people can't fix his ac. It goes back to what Lee says about the ROSSAC officials not knowing how to do their jobs, so they hire consultants, etc. This time they aren't hiring consultants, so the ac does not work.
The thermostat is set at 76, but the humidity is horrible. We sweat and sweat and sweat. Elia probably has her office nice and cool. When they redid the a/c in our school something was messed up with the humidity and papers and posters are falling off the wall. Papers on my desk literally feel damp. It is unbearable.
Overheard in a voting line on Tuesday:
"I hate that fucking bitch Elia! I hated her when she was my Reading Supervisor and I still do. If she were a candidate for something I would vote NO!"
Everyone you meet hates her. She has made lots of enemies in the district. All of them are people who worked under her. She knows how to schmooze with peers or people above her. She squashes the little people and goes out of her way to make them feel terrible.
