Dysfunction: A Case Study

Charlie Mas:

As we piece together the history of the recent proposal to revise the Transportation Standards, it reveals a story of deception, misinformation, abdication of responsibility, and, more than anything else, hypocrisy.
The Board will vote on Wednesday evening on a revised set of Transportation Standards for 2012-2013. We can’t say what those revised standards will be exactly – they have yet to release the final version. They will undoubtedly vote to approve – they always do. But what will they approve? Even they don’t know. This comes after the Board already adopted transportation standards for the coming school year. How did we get here? It’s an ugly, ugly story.
