Principal Stupidity

Joanne Jacobs brings the story of Santee High School in Los Angeles, where some classes were changed in the middle of a term:

Santee’s Computer Science class became Cooking. Twelve Advanced Placement classes were turned into non-AP electives: AP History was switched to Cinema, AP English to Writing Seminar.

The new classes didn’t fit college-prep requirements. Some students were left short of credits for graduation.

Teachers believe Principal Vince Carbino hadn’t ordered the necessary textbooks for the original classes, so he switched subjects to match the books the school already had.

The classes were changed just before an annual inspection to see if Santee was providing textbooks in all classes.

The teachers at the school have warned the LA Unified School Board that if the principal is not fired, they will vote to change the school to a Green Dot Charter.

I doubt the principal will be fired, but will likely be reassigned.
