For all the years I was involved in academic instruction and disaggregating achievement data I never bothered to read the Chancellor's Regulations,never had a reason to, there are a gazillion of them written in what I call "grey", they can mean this or they can mean that....so here I am, beginning my new role as Director of Health, Safety, and Suspension for 25 NYC schools and it's all compliance based...man there are a lot of rules and due dates! So a principal that is experienced has a fighting chance of meeting all of these requirements, the requirements are ammended annually so even they have to struggle to relearn. What am I going to do with all the new principals???? 80% are new??
I never realized the amount of work that goes into a suspension or a school safety plan. Who knew there were 3 types of suspensions?? My head is spinning and I'm taking deep breaths and praying! LOL
To add to the pile....what about those kids that don't get immunized due to religious beliefs...you wouldn't believe the process!
Every kid in the city is claiming an asthma related illness so that they can get permission to carry cell phones...and their doctors are writing the letters they need. What did we do when there were no cell phones!
I'm just yaking....
Keep your fingers crossed that I get this right!
