White Plays Race Card

Eugene got his evaluation today. The white school board members gave him failing marks, but most of the Black board members gave him high marks. He accused the white board member of being racist. What say you?

    Maybe he can should keep some of the money paid for museum staff salaries that barely has visitors. Why is IPS wasting money for some one who does not impact the students learning. He puts them asleep when they visit

    Where was this posted to read and see. (That also has his response.) If in the minutes of the school board please post the link as I cannot find them.

    I will with hold general comment till I see the evaluation.

    Though going in I do not believe race has anything to do with it. Will see after seeing his evaluation and comments if my opinion holds.

    This based on the fact that he is not doing well in keeping employees or parents happy. (Just an observation). Though I understand his evaluation is probably based on other criteria that I will form my own opinion on once I have read the eval.

    I think it is the Black board members who are racist. They gave him high marks just because he happens to be be Black. He is clearly not doing a good job. The test scores have not risen dramatically just enough to keep him in bonuses for teachers hard work.

    How could anyone give Eugene a good evaluation. He has alienated staff, parents, community leaders and students. He has bankrupted the system. He has an out of control top heavy administration. He embarrasses IPS.

    Yeah, I can't find the minutes or evaluations either. Like the poster above, I hate to comment before I read what was written and said, but off the cuff, I don't think the white board members or the black board members are likely racist, and if Eugene played the race card, then I think he's a moron. That said, I can see where some would think he was doing a good job. He has implemented a dress code, improved test scores, he's expanded magnet options, many of which are better than local suburban and charter schools, and he's acknowledged that teacher quality is indeed a problem in IPS, which inner city parents have been screaming for years. Now I know he's made a lot of enemies along the way, and I wouldn't call myself a fan, but I'm also not ready to discredit any school board member who ever supports him.

    If he did indeed call the other members racist he is wrong, apparently the board members who supported him are members of that infamous "black mafia". This mafia needs to end for IPS to focus on the real issue, educating children. Schools are social service agencies for children, not employment sources for your friends, family, sorority/fraternity members, people of the same race, or sexual orientation.

    I was at a restaurant one day, and saw a black teacher who I knew taught at Arlington. I had the occasion to visit the school several weeks before and had seen the chaos. They had a new principal in place, and I inquired if things had improved, and I was shocked when she responded that things were "just fine" before the change.
    I was completely befuddled by her response, nothing at Arlington has been "just fine" for years, a horrible graduation rate, hundreds of kids roaming the building during classes, declining test scores. All I could figure out is that this person had been there so long she had forgotten what a real school looked like or functioned like.

    It is time for IPS to stop these mafias and start getting down to the business of educating children.

    Just curious as to what the reaction to board was if he indeed called some of them racist? If a teacher said something to this effect (either to the white or african american side) they would be hung out to dry. Did they allow such an accusation to occur. Obviously someone must have been there to post this. Especially since the minutes are not available.

    In addition if he did make such as statement and this kind of evaluation was written why is it not mentioned in the newspaper today. I would think the STAR, 13, 8, 6, 59 would all be running that as top stories (just the evaluation, let alone the comment).

    Lets see the proof.

He even does this with school board members who are supposed to be his bosses but no nothing spineless head bobbers like Mary Busch are too afraid of him to say anything. One day, he will throw one of his tantrums and the board will finally do what needs to be done. The baseless attack on Commissioner White just shows how low that particular person posting will sink.

    If White made such comments, they would not appear in print, because Dr. White's evaluation, as with all other IPS employees, is not conducted in public. His annual evaluation is done in a closed-door executive session. Consequently, any report of comments he or the board members made is very suspicious, because ethically and legally, comments made in an executive session are confidential. If someone reports comments made confidentially in an executive session, they acting unethically and illegally. Of course, board members and administrators do regularly choose to ignore this, in favor of passing on good gossip.
    The format that his evaluation uses is somewhat anonymous in that the superintendent does not necessarily know the source of any negative (or positive) comments. The superintendent and the board discuss the evaluation in a face-to-face meeting, where board members can reveal comments that they made, if they choose. Regardless, it is not very difficult for anyone to figure out where specific comments come from based on their tone and content.
    I think it is extremely unlikely that he actually called board members racist - however, it is very likely that he intimated that their negative opinion of his performance was motivated by the fact that they are not black, and therefore lack an understanding of the needs of the school system. To call board members racist would be stupid and impolitic, and Eugene White is not stupid.
    Rather, Dr. White is in over his head, and the situation is spiraling out of control. Or probably more accurately, IPS is engaged in a death spiral that is beyond the ability for any superintendent to manage. Calling for White or other administrators to be fired makes for great blood sport, but changing the superintendent or rearranging the other deck chairs on this Titanic, is not going to fix the gash in the hull.

    No sadly that will not be the way it works, the administrator will have nothing to do all day but find things you MUST do, and each administrator will become very secretive, since they won't want others to figure out they really have nothing to do. Because of this at least three different administrators will be sending you things to do, and they will often duplicate each other. Since they are very important, far more so then students, you will have to do their assigned tasks first before you have anything to do with real children, or education.

    Speak to anyone who has ever been a speech therapist and has to do more paper work then therapy. Or certain guidance people who must turn in daily reports accounting for their time in 15 minute increments.

    I'll take a wait-and-see approach to all of the issues mentioned above. I absolutely agree with more dollars needing to go to the classroom, but IPS (and probably other districts too) would just play more accounting games with job titles and distribution categories. We're already below average with our fictional reports. I can't imagine how bad we would be if they actually knew how few dollars were really going to the classrooms here.

    I read that students who do not register will NOT be allowed in school/class, etc. Well, that sounds just dandy on surface; however, that decision, made at the Ed Center level, will have to be enforced at the building level by those in guidance, the front office, etc.

    I'm imagining an angry "mad as a wet hen" mother flailing her arms around, screeching, and threatening lord knows what, when I have to be the one who tells her (face to face) that her child cannot enter school because she did not register him.

    In the private sector, if an organization is failing or not producing at a high level, then who gets the axe? Of course, those at the top management level are the first to go because ultimately the top level is responsible/accountable for the performance of the entire work force.

    A company does not fire the assembly line workers if the factory is dysfunctional; they fire the bosses and get new ones who can bring it back to a functional level.

    So why do public school boards everywhere, not just IPS, traditionally blame teachers for everything wrong and seldom blame the bosses hired by the school boards?

    It's certainly easier to locate and hire one new superintendent than to locate and hire 2000 new teachers.

    Just some food for thought. . .

    Teachers are not assembly line workers. We are professionals, like doctors and lawyers. If you are in a legal firm or doctor's office and and the whole firm/office is doing badly, you fire management. Otherwise you replace the doctors or lawyers who are liabilities and replace them with assets. IPS teachers have way more impact on student achievement than Dr. White or the school board ever will. Whether you call that "placing blame" or "giving credit" depends on your own impression of teachers. But everyone at central office could disappear, and we would still have the potential to change these kids' lives. Now in the private sector, we could hold management accountable for getting rid of ineffective teachers, getting help for mediocre teachers, and recognizing, rewarding, and retaining quality teachers. But we can't do that in IPS without restructuring the whole system (unions, school boards, etc.) As much as we complain about not being able to control who is in our class, I actually think we have more control of our results than central office has over all of the teachers. They are held responsible for people that were hired when they were still in grade school.

    The problem isn't that teachers are to blame or that administration is to blame. The whole system needs to be dismantled. There's no way for it NOT to fail.

    Downtown has no clue as to what really is occuring at the building levels and elsewhere. I am doing all I can to not apply to charters or move out of the district. Hoping IPS will get its act together.

    I am a parent of kids at Key Learning (that opens Monday). They first off are not using my kids sitter address. They are using my home address and said it would be no problem for them to walk across two busy intersection to the bus stop (I love your transportation department). Then they (transportation) told me that my one daughter is assigned to another school not Key. When I called the Magnet office they told that was not correct she is assigned to Key and gave me her student ID number to give to transportation. Transportation then told me that was NOT her ID number and that I was lying. Called Magnet office and they said their first information was correct.

    Tansportation is also refusing to move my kids drop of from my home address to the day care (sitters). So, my K and 1st grade daughter will have to walk up a block and over three past two busy intersection and one house listed on sex offender site.

    IPS wonders why parents and others dont like them and pulls kids out. They (themselves) are doing the pushing of kids out of the district.

The law states nothing about a date or mandatory parent meetings. The high schools will not enforce this. It is just more fodder and nonsense from Eugene.

    I'm an IPS parent at a magnet school too, and the transportation and office of student assignment are the departments that have most often made me want to change schools (either charters or another district). It has not been the teachers. Now I have heard some negative things about some teachers in the boundary schools, so I'm sure it's an issue. But IPS administration still has plenty of things to improve even if they can't do anything about some of the teachers.

    regarding the new "register on our time table or you're screwed policy"

    I was reading a copy of "American School, the American School Board Journal" May 2010, page 38, an article titled "Never Say No: Turning around low performing, high poverty schools starts with a "helping hand and a sympathetic ear."" here is a bit of that article

    A few years ago, the board of Kentucky’s Mason County Schools resolved that every teacher and administrator in the 2,800-student district
    should “solidify connections between school and home.” The board’s plan to bridge barriers between home and school began with fourth- and fifth-grade teachers who agreed to make home visits. Following the visits, the teachers noted more parent involvement and improved student behavior, attendance, and achievement.

    Today, all Mason County teachers,from prekindergarten through 12th grade, conduct home visits. At first, some teachers were unwilling to participate, says Associate Superintendent
    Kelly Middleton. Their “reluctance dissolved”
    once they sat at a kitchen table and listened to parents express affection and hope for their child, he explained.

    Teachers, principals, and counselors who’ve had positive home visits now train others, including all new teachers. Teachers learn how to invite parents to get involved in their child’s schooling, learn about a child’s talents and interests, and ask about problems such as
    asthma or poor vision, which can impede attendance and learning.

    A new tradition has sprung up in Mason County, Middleton says. Teachers gather to “share poignant home visit stories.” The stories, he says,are evidence that home visits have
    increased teachers’ empathy and understanding
    for the struggles many families face.

    Student achievement is rising steadily,an indication that the school board’s decision to emphasize home–school connections over test scores is paying off.

    We are told to use invitational practices, and increase parental involvement-how exactly does this new policy encourage either. This strikes me as yet another example of the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing, a major problem in IPS.

    Dr. White is great at bringing African-American males in from outside of the district - even during a hiring freeze - because they are great "role models".
    Let's see if Victor Bush gets on here and drops the "n" word again.

    Is the position of "behavior adjustment facilitator" or what ever these men are called, restricted to single race and gender? I've never seen one (who actually do a good job) who isn't a black male, and strangely when I looked at several school web sites to see their official title, I couldn't find one of them listed and I personally know at least four in three different buildings.

    "Is superintendent an elected post or is he/she appointed by the board?"

    The Superintendent is hired by the school board. Though the way our school board acts in recent years you would think it was the other way around. Acting as if they are afraid of Dr. White instead of standing up to him and his idiotic ideas.

    Why is anyone on the School Board afraid of Eugene? It should be the other way around. He works for them. They hired him; they can fire him, if they wanted to (evidently they like him for some reason).

    Have you ever talked with Mary Bush....?? That woman has not had an original thought in 25 years. She just says yes to whatever Eugene wants and Eugene plays her like a fiddle.
