Consider the formal description of associate superintendent responsibilities at the Minneapolis Public Schools:
The associate superintendent is responsible for
creating and modeling a culture of high expectations and providing ongoing
support and oversight to school building leaders. The associate superintendent
works with school communities to create the necessary conditions that result in
dramatic and accelerated student achievement, closing the achievement gap and
improving overall school performance.
This statement of associate superintendent responsibilities is just so much verbiage, of the kind that pervades all major documents pertinent to academics and that fills so many meetings at the district.
Three questions arise once more, as follows:
Are these ineffective academic decision-makers and actors
1) woefully ignorant;
2) in severe denial;
3) or morally corrupt?
Brian Zambreno is one of those who roam the halls at the Davis Center (MPS central offices, 1250 West Broadway) who fail to deliver a knowledge-intensive, skill-replete education to the students who are his sacred responsibility.
A review of the schools for which he has responsibility reveals multiple years of failure and no meaningful bright spots over the course of academic years 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 under the program of our non-academician of a superintendent, Ed Graff.
Please now investigate for yourself Brian Zambreno’s dismal failure:
