Reality Check for the Board


Board Members:

Below are the three latest comments from my blog on Ms. Elia.

You should all have a blog to exchange views with the public so that you will have the benefit of that reality check. You enter ROSSAC and become a part of an alternate culture that does not coincide with the real world outside ROSSAC's doors.

I read through the boxes of the Erwin files with amazement.

What is clear was that the board and administration had constructed their own little world and obeyed its artificial reality, not that of the real world, where students, teachers, and the public existed and operated in the larger, truer reality of real life.

Dr. Lennard set the limits of that artificial reality, and all the ROSSAC Klingons obeyed it. If Dr. Lennard said the whistleblower Erwin of the crime going on inside ROSSAC was crazy and was telling lies and that ROSSAC was a perfect world where there was no crime because all the ROSSAC androids were too perfect to engage in or allow crime in their little world, then all the ROSSAC denizens took that template view as reality and acted accordingly.

That's what the present board members are doing in a copy of the previous ROSSAC world: living ROSSAC reality, not the real thing that unfolds outside ROSSAC doors.

Voters did not elect you to go into a ROSSAC trance and not do your jobs to serve the public expectation that you will protect and promote the schools; nor did voters elect you to go into a group trance and pretend that the world is what Ms. Elia's interests says it is and live, act, and breathe that false world.

The Superintendent here should step down and leave. It would be better off for everyone. No one likes her except the school board. Parents can't stand her. Teachers can't stand her. Most students don't know who she is, but if they kept up with the administrative decisions they would be mad at her. I suppose one positive in her is that she must have a very thick skin, because it is hard to go through life with everyone hating you. She has that problem.

Elia apologized to a parent at the recent town hall meeting out in Brandon. A little girl was dropped off at a bus stop when she wasn't supposed to take the bus home, and bus drivers aren't supposed to drop off a kindergartener unless a parent is there to meet the child. The mother rushed home after trying to pick her up and found her daughter crying. When the mother confronted Elia at the town hall meeting, Elia actually apologized and said it shouldn't have happened. There are a LOT of things that shouldn't have happened in Hillsborough's schools, and in a way Elia was apologizing for her incompetence. She needs to apologize to everyone in the county, not just this mother, but at least she is starting to realize how incompetent she is. Maybe she will step down one day so that the county will no longer suffer under her care.

I agree--Elia should go far, far away--where no one recognizes the name. She is a horrid "manager" of this huge system and blatantly does nothing that is not furthering her own financial and whatever other self interests.
