Using the typical Broad-Foundation-Fellow ploy, former CCSD Superintendent Maria Goodloe-Johnson has bamboozled the Seattle School Board into paying her more than the governor of Washington State, the mayor of Seattle, and the state education superintendent. What is that ploy, you ask, hoping that you can use it on your boss? Why, simply threaten to take a job that pays more.
As though they've been taking acting lessons from previous CCSD boards, Seattle's managed to ram through a nice raise, extend her contract, add a cost-of-living adjustment, and promise merit pay down the road--with no public discussion. And what other job would she have taken? It's a secret. And what exactly has she accomplished, besides promising five-year plans, etc.?
Remember this one when the present CCSD board starts making similar noises about losing McGinley if she's not paid more!

I know. I've been following this story coming out of Seattle, too. And I thought it was just us and something in the water we drink. Seattle used to have a very specific annual school budget before MG-J arrived. Now the SPS budget looks just as convoluted as the one in Charleston. But Don Kennedy’s presentation sure is pretty with all the PowerPoint high jinx he likes to use. Transparency isn't a concept that Broad likes to teach its minions.
why are we concerned with Goodloe-Johnson in Seattle? Lets work on Charleston. You did want her here so move on
It's because we can expect Nancy McGinley to be making the same push for a contract extension and a salery increase for having "successfully achieving CCSD's goals" in her first year. It's a scam that all Broad graduates have been trained to use. The Emperor's New Clothes and all that. If you read all the news closely, you'd know that public engagement and tranparency to Maria Goodloe-Johnson and Nancy McGinley don't mean what the definitions of those words say. Following what happens after someone leaves CCSD can be instructional, too. CCSD would be much wiser and seen as more honest with the public if they would care enough to follow its graduates. In this case the public might want to know that even Seattle can be hoodwinked.
Hey, Clelia, I'd pay you to go away.
As I would like to pay you 8:53 poster to go away!!
The deadline for submitting petitions for county school board candidates will be Tuesday at noon. The random postings of 8:53 reminds me of city hall's campaign to stack the board with their B-Team candidates two years ago and to trash anyone who might oppose them. It should be interesting to see what city hall has up its sleeve this time around, all the while claiming they don't have anything to do with public education.
