Concerns about "distinguished educator" discussed at school board meeting tonight

From Buffalo News live coverage of meeting as bogged by Mary Pasciak.

Johnson: I feel that we need to discuss this more thoroughly with our commissioner and we're the guinea pig. We're the first to have a distinguished educator. We're also the first district to have a federal constraint over us as a focused district.

Mary Pasciak:  Putrino: We're bound by specific state regulations. Within those terms, our hands our somewhat tied. Along the lines of those regulations, our hands are somewhat bound. But we do have some discretion to negotiate. One of the areas we can negotiate is salary.

El Diablo
I am a blogger, certified public school administrator and school attendance teacher. I studied American education history at the doctoral level defended a thesis on the Puerto Rican bibliophile Arthur A. Schomburg (1874-1938). I have lectured extensively, serving as a curator of exhibits on Schomburg in many institutions in Central and Western New York. I am one of the few Schomburg scholars today lecturing on his Puerto Rican heritage, and his contributions to the history of American education and black intellectual history. Also, a tenured school attendance teacher, served as chairperson of the New York State Attendance Teachers Association and executive board member. Also, past delegate chair, delegate, alternate, council of delegates in the union, and New York State Delegate to the NEA Representative Assembly.
