Insecure Minneapolis Public Schools Superintendent Lisa Sayles-Adams is on the Throes of Making Big Cabinet Changes, Ensuring That Only Sycophants Remain
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.
