In the middle of all this Super Tuesday excitement, the Missouri Senate confirmed the appointment of St. Louis Public Schools czar Rick Sullivan. Labels: Appointments, State_Senate
Governor Matt Blunt, who appointed the real estate developer to lead the largest school district in the state, had this to say:"Education is my highest priority as Missouri’s governor and I appreciate the bipartisan support Rick Sullivan received today by the Senate.
"Rick is an honorable public servant whose strong leadership is making a difference for our students attending St. Louis Public Schools at a time when our children and parents need strong leaders who care deeply about the future of these students.
"Rick is already succeeding in this role and I am confident he will continue rising to the challenges facing the St. Louis Transitional School Board to ensure that students in the St. Louis Public Schools receive the world class education they deserve."

My Question is were there no qualified black men or woman qualified for this appointment ?

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! First the district gets stuck with an executive from Brooks Brothers, now we get McBride and Sons. How does this make him qualified to lead a school district? Time to reinstitute a desegregation suit.

I quess what I was trying to ask , was as many Education Degrees that Black men and woman possess that live in St. Louis City or County-Why did'nt the Governor select someone who had the experience to lead the St. Louis Public Schools and Educate our Children properly-

Hey John Q. Public.... WTF is that suppose to mean. No qualified Black men or women. Obviously not. Since all of the "Qualified Black men and Women", Dr. Creg Williams not included, appointed to that position F#@%ed up the district to begin with.
So here is a racist remark to counter your racist remark. BTW I don't believe this statement just showing you what an ignorant person you are. "Since all of Missouri's top schools are run by white superintendents why not put the most qualified person in that position, a white person. Pretty F#@*ed up statement don't you think?

As the old song by the WHO goes...here's the new boss, same as the old boss. As long as the teachers are blamed for EVERYTHING nothing will change. Less and less goes into the schools while administrators downtown come up with more useless tripe. The only solution they can come up with is to "buy" another educational program in order to "teach" the teachers how to teach.
