The Deceptive Character of the Lisa Sayles-Adams Administration

 

As detailed in the Introductory Comments of this edition of Journal of the K-12 Revolution:  Essays and Research from Minneapolis, Minnesota, Superintendent Lisa Sayles-Adams heads an administration that is highly deceptive as to matters regarding Davis Center staffing:

 

With varying claims of 14.22%, 11.74%, and 13.8% in staff reductions as Fiscal Year 2026 Budget (FY26 Budget) is finalized, the stark fact is that none of these claims is legitimate, if the public is seeking to know the true number by which staff actually occupying positions at the Davis Center will have been reduced by the time FY 26 Budget is finalized.

 

This figure, as explained in the Introductory Comments, if extrapolated from the data given for FTE reductions, would be in the aggregate a reduction of only one (1) staff member.

 

If this is true, then there have been twenty-nine new hires, because my analysis of the staff members given on a list as of 14 April 2025 and those given on a list as of 13 May 2025, find an absence of the following thirty (30) Davis Center staff members who had appeared on the 14 April list who do not appear on the 13 May list.

 

Those not appearing on the 13 May list are as follows  >>>>>

If one aggregate Davis Center staff reduction occurred between 14 April 2025 and 13 May 2025, the excising of 30 staff members as given above would have been countered by an addition of 29 staff members as FY26 Budget is approved by the Minneapolis Public Schools Board of Education.

 

But the deceptive character of the Superintendent Lisa Sayles-Adams administration requires on my part ever present vigilance to arrive at exact figures and the prevailing truth.
