Word on the Street has it that our Superintendent-in-Training, Lynne Cleveland, is going to take this year's 4th grade ITBS scores for those applicants who did not have ITBS scores in 2008 after Ike!! Rather than give them the ZERO they currently have in their matrix, they'll get their scores from this year which, across the board, were higher than right after Ike!!!
Apparently she won't take all 4th grade ITBS scores for all the applicants to at least resemble a level playing field but will attempt to nullify the "blind" application process for the STEM Magnet Program!
So Cleveland will make exceptions for some applicants but not others!!! Favoritism? Or is this what Kelly Chambers refers to as "Innovative" ???
Once again, GISD has completely screwed up the application process to the magnet program and screwed over all the applicants of the school!!
The issue regarding absences raised in the last article has simply fallen on deaf ears of the administration. So far, no exceptions and no clarification of what "absences" really means. If a parent followed the GISD POLICY (as the Lack of Trusteess LOVE TO DO), then their child was penalized on the application!
NOTICE TO PARENTS OF 3RD GRADERS: SEND YOUR CHILD TO SCHOOL NO MATTER WHAT!!!!
My question has been and continues to be: DO THESE PEOPLE EVER THINK ABOUT ANYONE BUT THEMSELVES????
Driven by money and power, I don't think so.
Here is an old article on the man who supposedly designed the Magnet school matrix: Your Magnet Selector
When I clicked on the link in that article, I was taken to the Magnet Schools of Texas and the Mid-South website and lo and behold, who is President-Elect? See for yourself!!
No wonder GISD can never admit that they've screwed up. It just wouldn't look good to their educrat peers and would mess up the lecture circuit.
Parents, it's up to you!
