What The Hell EPISD?

Someone please explain to me what Juan Cabrera and EPISD are doing right now. I read this article in the El Paso Times and I almost lost it!

So you have someone, Kristine Ferret, who was admittedly part of a wide-ranging cheating scandal that pretty much targeted poor brown kids...

and you promote her?

And there was a process in which other actual human beings, all of whom attended a university that conferred upon them degrees, that thought it made sense to not only keep her employed - but to give her a promotion?

What am I missing here? Is this some kind of joke?

Did MTV decide to make an epic comeback of Punk'd and Ashton Kutcher is gonna come out of some bushes with a camera crew and say, "Gotcha El Paso, you've been Punk'd".

Because if he is, thats really cool.

But if he isn't, then I have to question why the hell Juan Cabrera is still the Superintendent.

And lets be very honest about this, she was actually REPRIMANDED by TEA for her role in this. So there was some analysis of the situation by the TEA at some point that found that Ferret's actions rose to the level that there needed to be an actual professional reprimand, not something take lightly, and she was STILL promoted?

And seriously, someone talk to Bob Geske. Great restaurants, but how the hell does this guy say he trusts the people who trust her judgement? And Tamekia Brown, the Chief Academic Officer of Cabrera's cabinet, says Ferret has "credibility" with colleagues and parents?

What planet are you people living on? Two words no sane and rational person would use about EPISD for a long time, "trust" and "credibility". How can you say that with a straight face? The very scandal Ferret was reprimanded for being a part of had EPISD taken over by the state and you people have the nerve to use the words "credibility" and "trust"?

Especially coming from Geske, who voted to keep Cabrera's lavish travel budget. Where are the parents in all of this? You guys should be at the Board meetings with torches and pitch forks over this one. People that were part of the cheating scandal that led to a Superintendent going to the Big House are being PROMOTED?

Get the hell out of here!

Speaking of Cabrera & EPISD

So there is going to be a replacement process for EPISD to get someone on the Board since Dori Fenenbock resigned to run for Congress. The group We (Fillintheblank) from Coronado High School will be holding a forum for the people vying for the position, next Wednesday night at Coronado High School.

Three guesses who Cabrera wants to see selected?

Yep, that is Cabrera and some friends having a pizza party to celebrate a recent birthday. One of those friends is none other than Dan Longoria, who is one of the people vying to replace Fenenbock.

Use the search feature here on my blog if you want to refresh your memory of the guy.

He was going to run for City Council but dropped out of the race when there was scrutiny over a family related legal issue as I recall. He's the mattress guy.

Who ever is selected will serve until May 2019, which gives you an idea of how quickly into her school board term Fenenbock actually quit to pursue the congressional seat.
