APS Supt. Sink; betwixt a rock and a hard place

The rock; the undisputed need for a full scale audit of the administration of the public schools.

The hard place; APS' "culture of retribution and retaliation"

and the threat posed by those in the APS who's careers will end with the audit.




If you believe the Council of the Great City Schools audit; the person who begins the audit will feel the wrath of the good ole boys faster than you can say Lillian Barna.

The auditors did not use the word lightly when they described APS' "culture of retribution and retaliation".


Linda Sinks best choice at this point would be to become the superintendent who started the audit, before the new supt. gets here; and then left town.


We would name a community board room after her.

Hi there.

Sorry, didn't get the reference to Lilian Barna. Who is she?

Lillian Barna was APS Supt. (1985-88): Barna was hired to "clean up" the mess that is the administrative leadership of the APS. She fired 55 administrators, before she was herself replaced.
