now the big wigs at District 150 - all the way up to head honcho Grenita Lathan -- are nosing into the individual sports programs
and telling the coaches what they can and can not do - even denying them the right to institute behavioral codes and hair guidelines...
note several District 150 board members - including long-time area basketball coach Terry Knapp - strongly support Coach Ruffin's
right to run his team the way he wants and oppose Lathan
it's as if Grenita Lathan doesn't have enough turmoil - as the headlines in the front page section also shows that she is totally losing control over the entire District...
..now one of the teachers she canned will have to be re-instated and the District will have to pay up because Grenita unfairly used political purposes and personal grudges to fire perfectly good teachers.
One of them is also suing Grenita & District 150..over racism charges...
BTW -- I happened to have a conversation yesterday with a long time principal in District 150 - who says their job has become impossibly burdensome because of all
of Lathan's demands -- they have endless meetings, tasks, paperwork & responsibilities - and they do the best they can because they know they can be fired or disciplined at any minute because of falling short on the impossible list of requirements.......
-- they have to meet with and evaluate every teacher and have face-to-face job performance evaluations with everyone on a literally daily basis....all the personnel crap is absolutely IMPOSSIBLE to actually accomplish even in an 80-hour week and yet everyone knows IT IS PURPOSEFULLY made to be that way - because then Grenita KNOWS that not one principal can ever do a thorough job of it, will always fall short, and thus will always have at least some provable deficiency that can be hung over their heads for whatever purposes Grenita chooses (threats, firings, demotions, extortion, and freeing up jobs that she can then use as political slush-money...)
