I leave you to ponder that thought.
Meanwhile, a piece should follow that analyzes the effects of her decisions and non-decisions on the students involved and the community. Too often McGinley prizes appearance over reality. She has seven years in the district, seven years that should show some progress. The reporter needs to find out if the progress cited by McGinley is real and, in addition, if any progress results from the superintendent's policies or from outside factors.
That piece would be a community service.

A lot of people who follow what goes on at 75 Calhoun would look forward to reading a report like the one Babbie describes. It might go a long way toward separating fact from fiction concerning the superintendent's personal claims of success.
I think until the Post and Courier hires a new, more objective education news-writer, Nancy McGinley will continue to be portrayed inaccurately (to her favor). Diette Courege is not a new-woman, she is a press agent.
She thrives on throwing Burke and north area schools to the wolves, and canonizes (and ignores problems at) the Magnets and Wando.
Though I hate to say this, Courege is a large impediment to accurate evaluation (at low and high performing schools).
