Another candidate has withdrawn his candidacy for superintendent, most likely because of the futility of the endeavor since it is evident that Vargas will be chosen.
The district is pushing ahead with its plan to convince the public that it actually has a voice in the selection process by asking for questions that can be posed to the candidates.
The only question that this community should ask and demand an answer to is, “When will you stop this deceitful game and actually open the process of selecting the next superintendent of our schools to the community?”
The Flower City Parents Network posted a conversation from the Bob Smith radio show with Board Commissioner Willa Powell. It is clear from that conversation that Dr. Vargas is moving full speed ahead with the Brizard plan for our schools. Regardless of the fact that this community had no confidence in Brizard, the Board seems not only to have had the utmost confidence in him but is also confident that his replacement, Dr. Vargas, will carry out this plan whether he agrees with it or not.
We continue to loose families to the suburbs and charter schools while the district bemoans the decreasing student population, using that as a reason to close schools. Meanwhile, absolutely nothing is being done to enhance the system of education within the district in order to entice families to return to our district and draw our students back from the charters.
It cannot be said enough, if we, as a community, continue to sit back and let the Board make decisions that not only fail our children but destroy our district then they are not to blame for our children’s failure or the destruction of our district, we are.
The Rochester community has only two candidates for superintendent. It is apparent which one the Board will choose. There is no reason to question the candidates. There is every reason to question ourselves.
How can we allow this to happen to our children and our district?
