Equity Director?
I wonder how many reading tutors we could pay with the money now consumed by a few of these non-instructional lines. It seems having more boots on the ground in the minority schools would be a better focus for our equity efforts than yet another administrative desk. Nothing says equity more than a little kid from the ‘wrong’ side of town who has a real opportunity for a future because they can read.
Alachua county schools are a joke
