>Although Dr. Deborah Ives has tendered her resignation effective November 11, 2007, the BOE is scheduled to appoint a secretary to her position at Monday night’s Special Public meeting.
iv. Appointments Dr. Brennan
Secretary
MANAHAN, Antonia – secretary to Supervisor of Mathematics 6-12, effective September 25, 2007, through June 30, 2008. $27,610 Cl. VIII, St. 3, prorated
>A secretary to someone who will soon not be there. Now, that’s a productive use of our money. Let’s see what else the BOE can come up with.
>Maybe she needs a secretary to help pack up all those reform math manipulatives – strips of paper for all the friendly fractions, noodles for adding and subtracting, and who knows what else.
Let’s not judge why she needs a secretary. Let’s just hope the secretary PACKS ALL THE REFORM MATERIALS AND SEND IT WITH HER ON HER WAY OUT!
Do you think they found a package big enough to fit Regina (just kidding Dr. Botsford)
>This secretary is not making that much money.
I’d be cranky if I was her.
>7:36 Ah yes, that’s what our district needs more of. Cranky secretaries. LOL.
6:36 You’re too funny. Pack up all those manipulatives? ROFL
>Someone had better be checking the credentials of her (Ives) replacement. The vetting process needs to be taken very serious this time.
>8:46am
Vetting process is simple – ask the candidate for a class lesson on the fraction 1/11 or 1/7 (as these are not friendly reform math numbers)
If the candidate takes out scissors, paper, glue, and crayons and asked instead to use a different number, like 1/2 or 1/4
kindly show them the door.
If instead of arts & crafts, the candidate pulls out a $5 calculator,
kindly show them the door.
>8:46 what vetting process????? They seem to hire people from the mediocre colleges they attended.
ENOUGH.
