Go ye mighty Lobos!
Although I don't think it will matter who has that job at the state.
And why are so many of them in their 60's? Shouldn't they be thinking of retiring?
The State is short on money. What a wonderful way to start saving some of it.
As to Bowles not responding to complaints, a teacher went into Bowles to complain about a principal (one who is mentally ill and was making horrible decisions) and he did nothing. I also know parents who went to him over an abusive special education teacher. (As did the aides). All he did was transfer the teacher to a school at the other side of the district.
I guess if you like a superintendent who does nothing but read to elementary school kids he's awesome.
I have worked in this district for more than twenty-five years, and I know every principal. For Great Idea to imply that one of those principal's is mentally ill is absurd. I also doubt that Bryan did nothing about an abusive teacher. That also is absurd. I have observed him taking care of problems head on when others have avoided them. He has removed principals and teachers from their positions (others can verify) while other leaders have ignored those problems.
He does nothing but read?! We love him because he is so hands on --- he reads to kids, he substitutes for teachers, he teaches writing classes for teachers, he sends personal notes. He doesn't have to do any of that, but he does it, and someone has the gall to criticize him for reading to children. Go figure?!
