The N&R editorializes on local school systems’ recent face-to-face with Judge Howard Manning:
Manning summoned school leaders from Guilford, Forsyth and Durham counties to his courtroom Tuesday to tell him how they’re going to fix failing schools.
The answer he liked best came from Guilford County Superintendent Mo Green, who explained the drastic actions taken at Oak Hill Elementary in High Point. The principal there has been replaced and the entire teaching staff was required to reapply for employment. Only one-fourth did.
“I applaud what you’re doing at Oak Hill,” Manning said, referring to students there and at Wiley Elementary in Greensboro as “victims of incompetence.”
What’s been missing from coverage of the hearing is Guilford County Schools’ ‘drastic actions’ at Oak Hill were motivated by fed money, eh?
WTVD coverage, where JLF president John Hood makes an appearance.
