Graff, though, is an academic lightweight
whose only advanced training is evidenced in an online degree in educational
administration from a lower-tier institution, the University of Southern
Mississippi. He has no credentials and
an absence of demonstrable interest in the subject areas of mathematics, natural
science (biology, chemistry, physics), history, social sciences, or English
(literature and usage) that are at the core of any legitimate PreK-12 program.
Cecilia Saddler (Deputy Chief of Academics,
Leadership, and Learning) and new Department of Teaching and Learning Executive
Director Aimee Fearing likewise do not have advanced training in any key
academic subject area.
Graff has achieved administrative and
financial successes during his July 2016 to August 2019 tenure to date at the
Minneapolis Public Schools. He should at
this point resign and make way for a scholar occupant of the superintendent
position, or hire a genuine academician as Chief of Academics.
Below you can view Graff’s meager academic
credentials and his record of failure in the most important are of student
achievement in both Anchorage (Alaska) and Minneapolis:
