Below is a note from Stan regarding his analysis of Michael Thurmond's visit to Dunwoody High on Wednesday.
Michael Thurmond was visibly disconcerted during his Q&A with the DCPC (Dunwoody Chamblee Parent Council) on Wednesday. He steered away from citing too many data points and made it clear that he intends to spend a lot of time and money on low performing schools saying that "lifting from the bottom" and getting parents involved will elevate all schools. Terry Nall and Fran Millar peppered Mr. Thurmond with facts as he refused to support dual accreditation for high schools across DeKalb.
Mr. Thurmond implored parents to acknowledge that things were getting better to no avail. One parent summed it up saying that before they endorse this administration "What I'd like to see, and I don't think I'm
alone in this, is to see a commitment to some sweeping changes. We're looking for some big moves to show that you mean what you say.".Goto FactChecker.StanJester.com to view the entire story including
