BUFFALO NY and its billion dollar school system has a problem. Its the second poorest in city in the nation, the third worst graduation rate. New York State pays 80% off the financing for Buffalo NY City Schools.The School Board Superintendent and her assistant make over $570,000. per year with perks. Five black women are on the School Board,five white men are on the School Board.They voted to get rid of the Superintendent last night and lost. The last Superintendent Mr. Williams, left with a severance package, with his assistant that included lifetime healthcare and over $100,000 in perks. Are Superintendents getting Golden Parachute Contracts, like some smart Wall St executives contracts, that actually pay for incompetence? Incompetence knows no race,color or ethnicity,but somehow race was brought out at an open to public board meeting by a activist, who addressed a Board member as "White Man." Some felt the Superintendent had not been give a fair chance to prove herself. Some felt she missed a critical meeting with the New York State Education Department when she oped that for a photo opportunity with President Obama instead. In all fairness to Carl Paladino, he has worked hard to have more transparency at these meetings to show the public the chaos that continues to plague this city at the cost off the students and their community. To make the City Of Buffalo grow you need JOBS, but you also need an educated workforce, the Buffalo School System is not doing this. Therefore even the brightest students suffer from grade manipulation so others may pass, making it harder for them to get into the right schools. See BUFFALO NEWS. BuffaloNews for more stories on the gloomy educational atmosphere that has gone on for decades, that hurts the progress of the re-birth of Buffalo NY.
