It seems that the DeKalb School system simply cannot get its act together. Every now and then there is a ray of hope, sometimes enough to sneak through yet another eSPLOST, then, without fail things fall apart. Quickly. Badly. Completely.
This round, with Dr. Green, is arguably worse than usual as he never really seemed to have his act together. He bloated the administration with his buds from KC, a somewhat objectionable but common practice that would have been OK had he actually rooted out pre-existing problems and ejected incompetents from previous regimes. There have been non-stop questionable hires and churn even amongst his closest staff. Given the relative short tenure of the average urban school superintendent it is appalling to find a leader that cannot retain his own hand-picked lieutenants. And then there is the cultivation of teaching staff who are not equipped with a teaching certificate.
Now the state's Professional Standards Commission is investigating Dr. Green. Maybe next time we should have the PSC investigate candidates BEFORE they're hired.
