There are now at least 8 assistant principal positions open and one principal position.<BR/>Also, there's that whole cluster lead principal thing... (is Bernadette Nevarez still the principal of MA Binford now that she's "f/t" as a CLP? I don't know... weird.<BR/>And... Nelinda Venegas and Susie Peck are retiring which leaves that situation open and it kind of looks like they are going with Associate Superintendent positions increases. I can't tell because the website has everything all jumbled up. There are so many different titles in the CLP positions that it's hard to tell what's what and who's who. Some say Director of Instruction while others say CLP and if you try to figure out each cluster, you come up with nothin' in Del Norte, Rio Grande, La Cueva, Sandia (Steinhubel retires), ABQ (Linda Sink promoted), Eldorado (Raquel Reedy promoted), Alt schools (Eddie Soto promoted, and Highland (has two different people listed.)<BR/>And, so, who will Special Education report to now?<BR/>Yeesh. It's a mess.<BR/>I'm so sorry to hear that your beloved principal is in fact leaving. What a bummer. Do you know her replacement?<BR/>I remember reading about the tallied principals saying that they wouldn't want to stay in administration based on the amount of time and the lack of pay. I was hoping the legislature would remedy that situation but the bill was so chopped up that it didn't really do much.<BR/>*sigh*<BR/>I hope something positive comes out of this... but for now, it is spinning as yet another bad, monolithic and autocratic decision.<BR/>Good luck, scot.NBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08693376789638443376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11712764.post-11268185366634908652007-05-11T08:47:00.000-06:002007-05-11T08:47:00.000-06:00Everitt wouldn't know what a "fresh" idea is if it...Everitt wouldn't know what a "fresh" idea is if it bit her on her overpaid ass.

The fact is, ..."well, we haven't tried this yet..." The fact is, APS has been doing this to teachers for years and now, ironically, administrators are getting a taste of the bitter fruit too. There is little appreciation for longevity within most schools and no reason for loyalty to the community when rifs and relocations can occur the way they do. When I think of colleagues who've been forced to leave, or moved because of admin pressure, or riffed based on so-called budgetary constraints, I shake my head. We could have an all-star team, instead we limp along like the KC Royals, year after year at the bottom, beholden to whimsy and mid-level management decisions, or worst of all the bottom line. APS is dead...Long live APS. BTW, I will be back on the job like nothing is any different from yesterday, because that's what is best "for the kids".historyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08354870786721312246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11712764.post-29427446345608793812007-05-10T20:47:00.000-06:002007-05-10T20:47:00.000-06:00NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1Evanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10477732434831270132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11712764.post-87419952787977552672007-05-10T18:06:00.000-06:002007-05-10T18:06:00.000-06:00Great, now I'm going to have your blog in a nice, ...Great, now I'm going to have your blog in a nice, automatically refreshing tab all night, using up my already highly taxed system resources, waiting to see if Mrs. Langan is leaving.
