"Trust me, just follow my lead"
But my big question is this. As if today's release of the Audit report detailing insurance fraud taking place out of the Hartford Schools Administrative Offices was enough to show the lack of management and incompetence at the BOE.
How can Hartford's Superintendent of Schools Leslie Torres- Rodriguez claim any leadership potential . How do you negotiate with struggling teachers, many of them working second jobs just to get by and raise their families and then claim you are negotiating in "Good Faith"?
How do you tell your lowest paid employees that budget times are tough and there will be no pay raises for at least the next three years. Oh, and by the way, those budget times apparently aren't really all that tough because the Superintendent was able to find enough money to give herself a $10,000 annual raise and boost her salary to reportedly to almost $270,000 per year, and while she wants to take sick days away from you, she has given more to herself every month.
To all of the Hartford Teachers, just do what your Union tells you and just go with the flow.
Better days are coming, at least for the Superintendent.
