DISD's Ghosts of Scandals Past

If history tells us anything, the recent security crackdown at DISD signals doom for its superintendent.

The point is to take all of the energy, intelligence and sheer indomitable determination of all those dads clubs, PTAs and booster groups and turn it into a force for good at the level of the school board. People have to do it. It has to happen.

In the short run? I'll tell you what. I think the appearance of the Raptor is a strong indication that the end is nigh for the current regime—not just the superintendent but a good chunk of the school board as well. I am scanning the heavens for an ultimate sign or portent.

I worked for Hinajosa once when he was down in Central Texas. Maybe I missed the hidden genius apparently deep inside him. To think that he has become Super of DISD does not surprise me, more like supernanny of the largest babysitting organization in the world. Let the state take over; it would give these fat wriklies in Austin something to do- (DISD grad).

Thank you Thank you I hope the end is near. The firing after school started.. the scandals.... it's disgusting.

That reference to Raptor was one of ignorance at best. I knwo the company, I know the security of data the use. I know that 5000 scholls use it, and i know only " The sky is falling croward " are worried. Come on skippy, keep up. The folks do great work. Or .." watch out, that next acorn will hit you in the head"
