Having principals named so late is NOT s.o.p.

Yes, DISD shifts principals around but it is usually finished by the July break.

What you are seeing this year is unprecedented.

There is so much effort in the reorganization that the campuses are not getting the support they need.

Central office is in too much upheaval at the moment.

Dr Hinojosa cannot even see that the campuses are suffering.

He and his senior staff don't seem to care.

And, watch, when the bond fails in November (and I think, we all agree that it will) and the ratings and test scores continue to spiral downward, Dr Hinojosa will say "but I did everything that Dallas Achieves said to do. This place is just not fixable."

Dallas Achieves is a front to take the fall when he fails.

DISD's best hope is for Dr Hinojosa to take the TEA job (yes, its still a possibility) and we get someone in here that can really fix things.

Didn't Lee Jackson's name circulate a few years ago?

Think we could persuade him to try to rescue DISD?

[Ed Note: OK, I'm going to pose the question: if Dr. Hinojosa leaves, who is going to take the job? Though I'm a critic of some of his staff members, he's making some changes that should result in a more manageable district. Mismanagement on the scope of DISD may take years to correct.]
