Lackluster, jealous, self-serving new Minneapolis Public Schools Superintendent Lisa Sayles-Adams is on the throes of making big changes in the composition of her cabinet of key advisers.
Sayles-Adams has forced out
Rochelle Cox, the superlative 27-year staff member of the Minneapolis Public
Schools who proved herself to be the most effective leader in the history of
the district during her tenure as interim superintendent.
Cox focused relentlessly on
academic improvement during a position of leadership that lasted 16 months,
from July 1, 2022 until January 4, 2024, overseeing the development and
implementation of intervention triads to address the needs of students most
seriously lagging below grade level and also instituting online high-dosage tutoring
for other students needing help to achieve grade level skill and online ACT tutoring
for high school students needing explicit preparation for the college readiness
exam. Cox cultivated the talent of Senior
Academic Officer Aimee Fearing, who implemented Cox’s academic initiatives and
became a major advocate for knowledge-intensive curriculum and the acquisition
of subject area information and vocabulary necessary for comprehending sophisticated
reading material across a range of academic disciplines; Sayles-Adams has also overseen the exit of Fearing
from the Minneapolis Public Schools.
As of the work week of June 17,
2024, though, the Minneapolis Public Schools website listed the same membership
that has existed for many months. Cox
returned to a position as associate superintendent when Sayles-Adams became
superintendent as of 5 February 2024, but otherwise the cabinet features the
same membership that prevailed during Cox’s tenure.
Have, then, a look at the
current official membership and be attentive to the major changes that will soon
be made by this insecure superintendent who seeks to surround herself with sycophants.
