Very sad to see him go but wish him nothing but happiness in his retirement.

Why is he leaving during the school year?

This is the 8th out of adozen administrators to leave. What is going on? We should revisit the Elmhirst Illinois patch articles.

hmmm...

http://elmhursttogether.webs.com/ "In going through this process it became apparent that these errors were not just issue-specific but that our Superintendent has a history of 1.) Micromanaging to such an extent that she is not involving her administrative staff in key decision making processes – she refuses to worked collaboratively with staff 2.) The Superintendent appears unable to hold in check her fabrications, prevarications and outright lies 3.) The Superintendent engages in willful blaming of others in her administration rather than admitting culpability/responsibility in errors made under her administration, thus giving her no opportunity to learn from her errors 4.) The Superintendent withholds information from the Board of Education in areas of key critical financial decision making processes. 5.) The Superintendent has not implemented effective communication strategies throughout the district 6.) The Superintendent has not adequately developed and implemented strategies and policies to address the information gathered by facility task forces 7) The Superintendent is unaware or neglectful in understanding the citizens of her community and the values that they hold (child-centered focused with a strong financial responsibility)."

Time to go...

I believe the superintendent is a true educator who is trying to bring a school district to the next level. The Superintendent is reigning in the independent administrators who for years were their own bosses. There was lack of consistency in the educational programs.

Patriot do you know any of these wonderful administrators? They have always worked closely and under the Superintendent. If you knew Superintendent Lusi there was no way she was not running the ship.
