Doctorates

These courses are run through NOVA University, the schools where Laboy got his PhD.  Some are run during the school day complete with a breakfast, lunch, and snack. This isn’t Harvard or Yale.

The administration is also participating in NISL (who knows) training as part of an 2007 agreement with the DOE. They are out of the building quite a bit for this training.  I’m not sure who is paying; I’ve heard some courses are free and some are at reduced tuition but these courses and trainings should be after school and at the expense of the administrator.

I have also heard that some administrators do not want to participate in the programs, but are pressured by upper management, although some must participate because their schools are doing so poorly.

The Central Office is tied up during the day of the courses and trainings. Several Central Office administrators are enrolled and unfortunately, school administrators are out of the building a lot and are not visible during the school day.  Many students do not know their principals. (At LHS, 17 names are difficult to remember.)

Administrators are evaluated on their discipline statistics.  So is Laboy!
