Jim is glad he's outta there!

Bob Norman is teasing his report set to air tonight on WPLG/MIAMI LOCAL 10 News:

“Here’s what a Broward County School Board member said during an ethics workshop in January when new rules were proposed regarding elected officials’ relatives.”I got lots of relatives, so I don’t know what they’re all doing all the time,” the board member said. “So, you know, they could be having businesses all over the state.”Well it turns out that board member does indeed have two relatives — a nephew and great niece — involved in school board business. One of them even gave the board member/aunt a $500 campaign contribution.Is it believable that this board member really didn’t know her relatives were getting board business?You be the judge. The piece is airing tonight on Local 10 at 11 o’clock.“

Broward School Superintendent Was Not THE Problem

Pray for Broward

 

You may have heard this is Broward School Superintendent Jim Notter’s last day on the job.  You may hear about  “turning the corner”, “things changing”, and “new blood”.  Don’t be fooled. It’s all baloney.

Jim Notter was not the problem at K.C. Wright (School Board HQ).

Like plenty of other folks in Broward, Notter was an enabler, an insider and an apologist. Notter lacked the courage to stand up to the School Board, the army of administrators and principals, the Union poohbahs, lobbyists and other bullies.

Notter’s fate was sealed long ago when Board member Stephanie Kraft & Co. grew tired of him and plotted his removal.

Now, it appears Notter will ride off into the sunset (North Carolina?) while Donnie Carter does the School Board’s bidding.

Perhaps Maureen Dinnen will grant Notter’s final wish: Make all Broward schoolkids learn Mandarin Chinese

Nothing will change around here until the culture of corruption and its followers are driven from power.
