Attention Bunker parents
I just noticed that at the July 30th meeting of the Board of Education the staff are asking the Board to waive the requirement that the person they hired to be principal of Bunker Elementary have passed her tests for her Tier I Administrative Credential which she hasn't. It seems to me that a school district struggling to meet API standards could do better than instal an inexperienced untried uncredentialed candidate at the helm of Newark's top scoring elementary school. I for one hope the board will vote down this request and instead push ahead with finding a quality applicant to fill this important position. I also hope the board will have some hard edged questions for the person who is trying to push the hiring of this not yet qualified candidate through( someone doesn't have our students best interests in mind ) Any one interested should come to the July 30th Board of Education meeting at 7 PM located at the District office at 5715 Musick Ave.
