The Associate Superintendents report directly
to Michael Thomas (Chief of Academics, Leadership, and Learning with salary of
$163,761). Inasmuch as Thomas’s Deputy
Chief of Academics, Leadership, and Learning is Cecilia Saddler (salary,
$151,980); and Chief of Research,
Innovation, Assessment, and Accountability Eric Moore (salary, $147,900) is by
definition accountable for academic results for students in the Minneapolis
Public Schools; these two, along with
Thomas, must be held responsible for the academic results produced at schools
for which Davila and the other associate superintendents have direct oversite.
On this, the previous two, and the succeeding
article as you scroll down this blog, I give data for the assessment of the
performances of the individual associate superintendents, on the basis of
academic performance for students at schools under their supervision. All of these data and accompanying analysis
is derived from material that I am entering into chapters of my substantially
complete book, Understanding the
Minneapolis Public Schools: Current
Condition, Future Prospect.
As you peruse the following data presentation,
be attentive to the fact that Anderson, Cityview, and Hmong International have
very substantial percentages of students on free or reduced price lunch,
indicative of high concentrations of poverty; the schools Bancroft, Folwell, Marcy, and
Sheridan have demographic affinities with these schools. Those of Armatage, Barton, Dowling, Emerson, Seward,
Whittier, and Windom by contrast include many affluent families in the
communities from which they draw students.
Consider now the Minnesota Comprehensive
Assessment (MCA) data for 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017 as pertinent to the
schools under Lucilla Davila’s oversite:

Hi Gary,
ReplyDeleteI have a child currently at Folwell and am trying to learn more about the leadership at the school and apparent scandal related to the principle but there is very little transparency or in MPS I am realizing. If you have a moment to email me I would greatly appreciate it.
You can email me at garymarvindavison@gmail.com or, even better, call me at 507-301-9902--- I do not see your own email address embedded in your message but would be glad to talk to you---
