Shakeup at CCSD's Sixth-Grade Academy

Paint it any way you wish, Dr. McGinley, but this year's Sixth-Grade Academy fell short of its promise. [See Literacy Shake-up Planned in Wednesday's P&C.]

Nevertheless, the District will forge ahead with more academies in other areas. Is it my imagination, or is the Superintendent adding yet another level of bureaucracy to these planned academies by making the original principal supervise the others?

I'm with Board member Ruth Jordan: "'I think we need to look at how it's going to roll out,' she said. 'I don't want this to just be another gimmick.'"

Amen.
