State says it's not waiting for new Boston school superintendent; to declare Boston 'underperforming'

Based on six Uhub stories this week, state involvement means BPS can look forward to exploding batteries, self-driving trains and collapsing staircases, with some derailments and floods thrown in for good measure. BPS needs to improve, but the lousy SOBs who can’t run the MBTA to save their life… can get lost.

Stevie Wonder saw that one coming.

In the end, however, despite our good faith efforts, and after granting the City multiple deadline extensions, we were not able to reach consensus on the need for an independent data auditor hired and overseen by DESE, to verify that the district is accurately and transparently reporting its progress on key measures. The City/BPS proposed to hire their own data auditor; however, this is insufficient as numerous such audits have not prevented ongoing inaccuracies with data.

Y'all just won't stop lying.

I don't have kids in BPS. I am a graduate of the BPS system. For many years, there has been a crisis in the school system. A revolving door with superintendents, top heavy administration and what just seems to be a situation where the student's education has suffered due to the instability that is entrenched there.
I remember Mayor Menino making the comment where he said he wanted to be judged by what he did with the schools. He is no longer with us, but he changed nothing. The same sad situation was carried on by his successor, Mayor Walsh. Nothing has changed. We are continually reminded that we should give 'them' a chance.
Well, the chances have run out. There are no second chances with a kid's education. There has been wheel spinning with the system, and it looks like a receivership is on the way.
It's about time.
Have a great day.

why Mayor Wu wanted Superintendent Cassellius out. I don't see what was gained.
