Journal editors weigh in on RGHS fix

The Journal editors are not very enthusiastic about Winston Brooks' plan to try the same old plan just one more time. link

In short;


"To date, leadership changes — including an experiment
with a four-principal academy system —
haven't translated into community buy-in at Rio Grande
and didn't get students on track toward improved
academic achievement and graduation rates.
In retrospect, it has seemed like change for change's sake.

Parents, teachers and taxpayers fervently hope that
Brooks' developing plan for the district's most
challenged schools ushers in change for the students' sake."

And lest we forget, the most revered Veronica Garcia herself was once principal of Rio Grande, although they had to do an audit after she left.

Robert Lucero, in questioning Brooks "new" plan, pointed out that APS has been running its biggest and best, through the administrative offices at RGHS, to no avail.

They say it is insane, to keep doing the same thing over and over, and expecting a different result.

It is.
