The plot sickens; 250 "reading coaches" tossed overboard
 |
| OSD "Captain" Smith |
The
"sea of troubles" continues to boil in and around the
Ogden City School District this morning, in the wakes of
Ogden School Superintendent Brad Smith's
Ogden School District Media Specialist/librarian Massacre and his
Adult Education Program "Friday Surprise," as the
Standard-Examiner runs a couple of new items this morning demonstrating that our seemingly desperate and suddenly
pinch-penny OSD Captain Smith is apparently nowhere near done with cutting the
Ogden City Schools' budget clean down to the water line.
Check out this morning's Nancy Van Valkenburg's story, folks, which reports that
Ogden City school-kids will be suddenly doing without the services of 250
"reading coaches" who'll be tossed overboard very soon:
And here's an eye-opening
Standard-Examiner video piece showing the reaction to this news from the reading coach
"crew":

"Who's gonna help the kids read?" one short-timer reading coach asks.
"Will the The Captain" "go down" with the apparently sinking OSD ship?" That's our
sodden question,
Peeps.
We'll close up Ms. Van Valkenburg's morning
OSD article series with a story about the online petition
we wrote about and linked a couple of days ago:
Here's another quick link to the petition, by the way... just in case you
"forgot" to sign it [wink-wink]:
And please don't let the cat get yer tongues (whatever you do).
