Superintendent's Contract In Doubt

by Cal Bryant - January 10th, 2007 - Roanoke-Chowan News-Herald

WINDSOR - What is the current status of the employment contract agreed upon by Bertie County Public Schools and Superintendent Dr. Nettie Collins-Hart?

That’s a question currently without a definitive answer.

Yesterday (Wednesday), the Roanoke-Chowan News-Herald learned through several sources that the Bertie School Board had discussed an issue calling for the Superintendent’s resignation, but had yet to reach a majority decision.

This article by Cal has some useful information about the education crisis that is causing all the rumors in Bertie County. I hope this brings to a head the serious problems our schools currently face. The "everythings is fine, Dr. Collins-Hart is going a great job" story put out by her supporters cannot pass the stink test. Everything is not fine in Bertie County's schools. Dr. Collins-Hart seems unwilling to even acknowledge how poorly our education system is performing.

By itself that head in the sand defensiveness is unrealistic and unacceptable.
