Despite its unknown ancillary costs, your School Board approved Supt. Mo Green's administrative reorganization plan that decentralizes Central Office Staff. The vote last night was 8-1 with Board member Paul Daniels voting no. Board members Deena "never-miss-a-meeting" Hayes was absent, along with Kris Cooke.The move will divide the county into these regions, each with a regional or assistant superintendent:
- Central: central Greensboro and Jamestown.
- Western: High Point, Colfax, Oak Ridge and Stokesdale.
- Northern: Summerfield, northern Greensboro, Browns Summit and the Reedy Fork area.
- Southeast: Eastern and southeastern Greensboro, McLeansville and Gibsonville, and the area from I-85 Business to the Alamance County line.
- Enrichment region: Schools described as low-performing academically, with high rates of poverty and “historically challenged”: Bessemer, Montlieu and Wiley elementary; Hairston, Jackson and Welborn middle; and Andrews, Dudley and Smith High.
N&R:
“The board has expressed its reservations about cost,” said board member Paul Daniels.
“But we’re still waiting to find out what this is going to cost us.”
I tend to agree.

The recently departed National Security head once said that there is a problem with large organizations and their bureaucracies. As they get bigger and bigger, they become more focused on their survival and continuing their existence, rather than pursuing the original purpose or goals of the organization.
Maybe parents need to re-take control of the educational process.
I am still amazed at some statistics which I saw on one of William F. Buckley's last shows about home schooling. According to the presentation, children who are home schooled apparently have much better "empirical" results. I am aware of the argument about social skill inadequacy and lack of involvement in school organizations. However, the other stats are impressive.
Perhaps it is because parents relinquished control of the education of their kids to others than the system has deteriorated. An educational abdication of responsibility.
