2009 CSAP Results are here and provide interesting info about one of the members of DPS' new Administration.
Her name is Kristin Waters, the recently appointed bureaucrat in the well-paid and bombastic position of Assistant to the Superintendent for "Reform and Innovation".
Waters was the highly promotioned principal of Bruce Randolph School between 2005 and April 2009.
However, at the Middle School level, Bruce Randolph is going south. Results from 2009 CSAP testing show that at least 80% of the students are not proficient in the core subjects. Only 5% of the students are at or above proficiency in Science, 16% in Writing, 17% in Math, and 20% in Reading.
During the 2008-2009 school year, the last for Waters as Bruce Randolph's principal, the decay was visible. Middle School Science proficient students went down by 7%. Reading and Math proficient students went down by 5%. Only writing showed a meager increase of proficient students by 3%.
CSAP figures prove false the public relations effort to present Waters as a successful administrator.
Because her experiment at Bruce Randolph Middle Grades failed, despite the financial and PR support received from DPS and other sources, Waters must go.There is no point in keeping as a 6-figure DPS bureaucrat a principal showing managerial failure at the middle school level.
