We've seen it before. Back when LPS was going to hire another DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT to replace the RETIRING SUE ROWE. Many of the same forces arguing against tacking a doctoral requirement on to that job position have aligned against attaching it to the ADMINISTRATOR OF SPECIAL ED.
Same arguments, same rumors swirl around this position. That time we were able to defeat the power play with the unlikeliest allies - CHUCK. He provided the swing vote to thwart the wishes of DR. LATHAM and her COALITION OF CORRUPTION - JOHN FORD, PATTI CAPANO, AND THE MAYOR. This defeat most probably led to the selection of DR. TUTWEILER for that position. Everyone now seems happy with that choice.
In that epic battle over credentials, CHUCK argued more eloquently than me over the DUMBING DOWN of our educational expectations. He is a lawyer after all and I am just a poor, disabled poet. Sure there were rumors of political payback over lack of support for his higher political aspirations for higher office but when have you known me to put much stock in rumors?
Whatever his true intentions we could use his stated commitment to the high level of education required of our top administrators. To that I say - "#bringbackchuck"
