UTLA to Next Superintendent:
The Los Angeles Unified School District is looking for a new superintendent, and the teacher’s union wants him or her to know who’s boss:
(A.J. Duffy, president of United Teachers Los Angeles) said the board alone should select the next superintendent on the basis of two principles:
“One, who’s best for the kids, and two, who can carry on the legacy that was started with Roy in terms of collaborating and working together with me as president of UTLA…. If they follow through with those two tenets, then the future bodes very well for public education in Los Angeles,” he said.
Doing the union’s bidding should only be the second factor considered? They’re slipping!
