When Contreras came to Robert T. Hill, many students and parents felt that the school declined.
She seemed not to care about the teachers or the students.
Rex Cole, the former principal, was a great asset to Hill.
Too bad he retired.
Dr. Hinojosa should do his best to hire back Rex Cole and all other retirees to the DISD.
[Ed Note: I will never forget the statement she made to the Hexter Elementary PTA--saying she couldn't guarantee our children's safety. After that, she began crying and telling the PTA how all her kids were good kids--and how unfairly they were being portrayed on Dallas.Org.
She completely missed the point of the article that started it all. It had little to do with the kids involved in the beating--rather it had to do with the way incidents, such as these, were handled by the administration (translation: her).
As I've said before, I don't believe she wished ill upon Jim and his neighbors. I think it was yet-another-example of poor decision-making. And I think it will take years for the school to recover completely.
...assuming Hinojosa appoints someone competent to assume the position.]
