(Hour 3a, b, c) We had an exclusive, hour-long interview with the outgoing Superintendent of Manchester Schools Dr. Tom Brennan. What does he wish he had done differently? And, what about the school board?
What promises were made to Superintendent Brennan, but broken? How does Mr. Brennan feel about the Curriculum Audit? Do our principals have too much autonomy? Plus, are teachers in Manchester schools more concerned about having the “best” students in their class, or making sure the students who need the most help get the help they need?
Listen in for the answers to these specific questions and more.
Dr. Brennan did a great job with what he was faced with. As a parent who worked with Dr. Brennan as a parent to Superintendent on many levels in ways to improve the schools, the school board, many members just didn’t want to commit to change, didn’t want to hear what parents, students and Dr. Brennan had to say. Very many times the members on the school board felt ‘they’ were the only ones in charge and Dr. Brennan was just there to hold the position not there to do the job as hired to do. Good Luck Dr. Brennan, we, the parents will miss you greatly. Thank you for the last five years.
Thanks for the comment, Bob. I think time will exonerate Dr. Brennan.
That and thank you Mr. Girad for having the right stuff to get the real issues out there to all those who will listen! Sorry to see you go from the Commission. See you on the campaign trail in 2014. Tarr for Governor 2014. Cheers.
