Put Those Kids On The School Board. Put The Board Members Back In Class
-
The new principal at a Kansas high school has already resigned before taking over, and the reason is dogged journalism... by the high school newspaper, which got curious about the new boss and did the kind of digging real journalists do. They found that she got her master's and doctorate degrees from a diploma mill. Why did the school system not know that? Did they do ANY checking of her resumé? Even the name of the "college" she "attended" -- "Corllins University" -- sounds fake, like a typo for "Collins." No red flags? And how was it that she formed an educational consultancy in Dubai and got clients? And how was it that the Kansas board hired her when the student journalists were able to Google the woman's name and find news about a school she ran in Dubai getting its license suspended and her being deemed unauthorized to run the school after getting yearly "unsatisfactory" ratings? Shouldn't the superintendent and board members resign in shame? (Kansas City Star)
