Wow...Curiouser and Curiouser!!!

Since no one else is willing to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth -- I'm going to weave this story together all by my lonesome for you all... The blue type is the ARTICLE from the Courier printed today, The highlighted sections are exact quotes from the CSA.   And the black typeface is yours truly.

Let's see how this play out...

Know that this Board raised intense, appropriate inquiry to understand the nuances of the varied personnel actions recommended to them on November 17.

The two Plainfield Public Schools employees around whom a recent credentialing controversy has arisen were denied certification by the New Jersey Department of Education a combined four times during the past 15 months, and at least one worked an entire school year under a title she was never certified to hold, according to state personnel records.

Oooh REALLY!  So what you are saying is that our BOE was OK with unqualified persons filling positions illegally at the tune of over $200K?

How many times are our students given the HSPA to qualify for graduation?

How many folks do you know gets a job and then applies for the qualifications?

Hey Now I AM ALL About the HOOK-Up...But A Cover-UP--NOT!

Gallon last week launched a vigorous defense of the district's handling of the recent personnel moves involving Kelly and Borge, public reaction to which he repeatedly has labeled "an albatross around the neck of the district.''

Where we had identified essential work and persons with proven capacity to get it done, it was my duty to, within regulations and law, to align the two … the work and the people … to get things done.

You said that "we had identified" can you please share with us who else from the District was involved with the resume assessments, interviewing, vetting and final offers regarding these two positions?  Exactly, how many people applied for these positions?

Any organization that makes an investment in its people, should reasonably expect a return.

Would it be fair to say that INVESTORS in said organization should also and reasonably expect a return on their investment?

Finally, the recent news indicate that our thoughtful, pragmatic approach to resolving these matters was the "right' one. Right for the district, right for the work, right for professionals affected and potentially targeted, and right for our students.

What part of this is right?  You've mentioned at least twice that some professionals may have been targeted; suggesting that there may be personal reasons for the public's outcry in the situation. Can you expound on that a little more.  How exactly would these individuals who lacked the appropriate certification (fact); who were denied said certification from the State of NJ (fact) and who were in fact doing jobs for which they were not LEGALLY qualified to do (fact) -- targeted?

Do you believe in FAIRIES?

So how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop?  I guess just like getting to the truth of this matter -- the world will never KNOW!
