If an APS school is "failing", another administrator is assigned to the school, according to the Journal. (link) sub req.
In order to raise test scores at those schools, an administrator will oversee the principal. That administrator is administered by another administrator, Eduardo Soto, who is himself administered by another administrator, Linda Sink.
I can't help but think if the same decision making power and resources (and a competent facilitator) were assigned directly to the school, that school staff and community would spend them far more efficiently (site based management).

Across the nation, and in Albuquerque, educators know that lowering class sizes (by mandatory)is what will DEFINETLY improve education.
HOWEVER, APS decided to increase class size limit.... and put an administrator in charge of an administrator.
The ONLY reason we can't get lower class sizes is that is would cost a lot.... but I have to wonder.... would it be much more than all this extra admin? ...and at least lowering class sizes is PROVEN effective!
