DPS , $3 billion in the red, scandal-ridden, can not also get its act together to place Tom Boasberg's carefully picked follower, Susana Cordova, with her straight financial problems of interests with charter schools, in the superintendent's job.
This procedure will take place in 3 stages:
* Phase 1 will occur via Oct. 15 and also culminate with the recommended application due day.
* Stage 2 will certainly occur between Oct. 15 as well as Nov. 26, during which time, prospect meetings will certainly occur.
* Stage 3 follows with 2 turning point dates: on Nov. 26, finalist( s) will certainly be introduced and also on Dec. 10, the superintendent will be chosen.
*
Well, not specifically ...
The District has actually pressed back its ever-changing timeline for the third time.
Here's what the neighborhood desired:
We seek an individual that symbolizes the complying with credentials:
* ● Most importantly, an instructor.
* ● The Superintendent needs to reside in Denver and their school-aged children have to participate in Denver Public institutions.
* ● We want a "Transformer" not a radical. This is an private with demonstrated success in changing colleges in a comparable area. Likewise, a college leader who will certainly eliminate choice to make sure excellent quality institutions are recognized in every community.
* ● The next DPS Superintendent should have NO dispute of interest with charter college funders, Democrats For Education And Learning Reform (DFER), or any type of DFER associates.
* ● The Superintendent has to commit to complete economic transparency: meaning an exterior, line by line audit of DPS financials.
* ● The brand-new Superintendent has to have a " Corrective Justice" technique to self-control. This consists of: getting rid of Student Source Officers, finishing to absolutely no resistance policies, addressing the institution to jail pipeline, and also giving wraparound services, consisting of: suitable Special Education and learning solutions, psychological health and wellness solutions, and also counselors.
Our brand-new Superintendent has to respect all our teachers. We need a Superintendent that, as a leader:.
* ● Is committed to having certified, licensed teachers in the classroom.
* ● Has actually demonstrated success in branching out the staff in their school district via the employment, employing and also retention of teachers as well as school leaders of shade.
* ● Has a tested performance history in boosting cultural expertise in their faculty and staff, and also in their very own pedagogy.
* ● Has formerly led with a commitment to collaborative technique and power sharing.
* ● Will certainly end high stakes screening, to ensure that our teachers can really educate.
* ● The Superintendent must focus on communication as a leadership method to improve transparency, community interaction, and coordination across all the stakeholders to whom they are responsible. The Superintendent ought to have an Open Door plan, and be an comprehensive leader that strolls the halls of the colleges and also gets in touch with trainees, teachers and parents. In enhancement to the credentials desired in our next Superintendent, OVOS brings the adhering to needs relating to neighborhood input in the Superintendent search and also option procedure:.
* ● We expect openness and also disclosure of the HR search firm and the selection procedure.
* ● OVOS, in collaboration with a union of diverse neighborhood participants, will submit our own candidates for consideration.
* ● The process for Area input have to be outlined from beginning to end, in its totality.
* ● OVOS, in cooperation with various other community groups, will certainly create a Area Rubric to submit to DPS and also the search firm, for usage in analyzing candidates.
* ● It is important to have neighborhood representation on the option committee included: trainees, parents, teachers, union reps, neighborhood coordinators, a agent from each of the 5 areas, and also a college agent.
* ● Prospects must go on a listening scenic tour to every of the 5 Denver districts and engage in real dialogue with the area.
Bottom line: Radicals intend to steal the direction of the district before the citizens deny the board following autumn.
Denver Public Schools will certainly remain to lose top quality prospects since the procedure has been exposed to be dishonest.
