Oh, boy! A SuperTAOSAC

In order to create the perception that he is in communication with students, APS Supt Winston Brooks formed the Superintendent's Student Advisory Council.  He likes to called it the SuperSAC.
He meets with the exceedingly atypical group of students once a month, in order to increase his understanding of typical students.

There are those who believe that Brooks is out of touch with teachers and other staff.  Apparently it came up in Brooks' so-called evaluation.  To ease the perception that his administrative style is "top down", school board enforcer Marty Esquivel asked Brooks to work with teachers and other staff; TAOS.

The Journal reports that Brooks is "considering" creating an advisory council to "consult" with them.  The gathering of atypical teachers and other staff will be the SuperTAOSAC.

Oh, boy!  oh, boy!  oh boy!

Teachers and other staff will be so thrilled.

In the meantime, no policy change has been made, in response the findings in an audit done by the Council of the Great City Schools.  They found;
APS has a culture of fear of retribution and retaliation
against whistleblowers.
If Brooks, or the Board for that matter, had any real interest at all in the opinions of teachers and other staff, there would be a survey done every year where teachers and staff can tell the truth without fear of retaliation.

They have no real interest, no survey will be done.

Ever.
