That job is tough in any school district.
You are trying to please everyone and get the job done with usually a
limited budget, with unrealistic expectations.

Post Barry, DC has actually been doing a very good job or at least
trying
very hard. They do many things better than surrounding jurisdictions.
The
bad stuff gets the headlines. You only see the good stuff when you
interact with the government. That rarely makes headlines -- I wish it
did more often. Recently the new school super is getting good press both
locally and nationally.
