They Got Sent to the Principal's Office

SF schools Superintendent Vincent Matthews:

This headline reflects the sentiment of nearly everyone, regardless of political affiliation:

SF schools superintendent agreed to stay if the school board behaves [bold added]

When San Francisco public schools Superintendent Vincent Matthews agreed to stay on the job for another year just a month after announcing his retirement, he didn’t ask for more money. He demanded that the school board behave.

The seven-member board is expected to vote on an amendment to Matthews’ contract Tuesday, which calls for the school board to be prepared for public meetings and refrain from creating new programs or mandates unrelated to reopening schools until they are fully back to in-person learning.

The new contract would shift the balance of power to the superintendent, giving him nearly full discretion over hiring and firing.

We've written before about the SF education clown show that was focused on renaming the schools instead of re-opening them, and it's about time they have an adult in the room.

They don't administer corporal punishment to the kids anymore, but what about incorrigible adults? Just asking.
