On Parent Engagement, Parent Activist Asks: SchizoFarinia?

"Principals should be engaging with the community," Fariña said. "Principals sitting down and talking with the community should not be a foreign idea."

Yet her legal team is banning and even appealing a recent counter mandate from the courts to allow community members to attend SLT meetings.

HUH?

Right you are, after 3 semesters of running the schools little if anything has changed as Brodsky & Company still rule the nest. Ask the folks in schools, the chapter leaders, the DR's if anything of significance has changed. According to LaMama(Farina), superintendents were to have more say and power to run their districts. If so, why so many complaints without merit still being upheld by the legal eagles at Tweed? This administration has conducted less transparency, the same or more fraudulent policies, and has no concern over the outcries or well being of the school community. Pre-K is the end withal DeBlasio head Is up in the clouds or where the sun does not shine!!
