Inside the Transfers

Hey Readers....The summer is going by so FAST.


Questions are starting to spiral about the Plainfield's new school, Barack Obama for Academic and Civic Development (BOAACD). Questions such as, "Will the school be closing?", Why has the Principal and Main Office staff been trasfered."


As we all know district personnel transfers always happen. If you looked on the Board of Education Business Meeting's Agenda for July 20th, 2010; the CSA and her offices have started to make Personnel assignments for the 2010-2011 School Year. If you look under Item (B) on page 5, it says the following in bold Transfers/Reassignments; "RESOLVED, that the Plainfield Board of Education approves the following transfer/reassignment for the 2010-2011 school year." Scroll down to page 7, there you will see Shirley Johnson-Tucker from Principal-BOAACD to Principal-Woodland School. Shirley Johnson-Tucker is the school's first Adminstrator since the opening of the school. Take a look under her name Connie Jenkins-Buwa, Attendance Secretary has been transfered, from Secretary-BOAACD to Secretary-PHS Guidance. Scroll down to page 8, Ann Nettingham, Guidance Counselor, has been transfered from Guidance Counselor-BOAACD to Secretary V-PAAAS. Scroll down to page 9, there you will find Flora Shaw, Principal's Secretary has been transfered, from Secretary V-BOAACD (which means Principals Secretary) to Secretary V-Special Services.


SO why the questions?: People are asking these questions because, people are automatically assuming the school will shut down. Who could have reveal this to the Plainfield Community? Was it someone on the Board? All of these questions and more are being asked. So why is the school's first Administrator being transfered? So, far from the 2009-2010 school year she has done a GREAT job as the Administrator. Hopefully we can see more in the days to come and the "rumor" can be addressed by the right officials.


Another thing: On, page 10 Kevin Stansbury, Vice Principal; has been transfered from Vice Principal-Maxson School to Vice Principal-Maxson/Hubbard Schools. Okay, here's my concern; Why is he being assigned to TWO schools? That makes no since to me. The CSA should keep him at Maxson and bring down or promote one of the other District Personnel's. Hubbard Middle School former Vice Principal, Scott Burkholder has been transfered also; he is now the Vice Principal of Evergreen School. Former Vice Principal of Cedarbrook K-8 Center, Rosa Salinas has been transfered to Washington Community School Vice Principal. Since, when does an Elementary School need a VP? Middle Schools have always had 3 School Administrators. If Rosa Salinas was being transfered. Why not place her at Hubbard Middle School due to the vacancy from Scot Burkholder? So, the Administration Staff at Hubbard and Maxson are as follows:

Hubbard

• Principal: Gwynetta Y. Joe
• Vice Principal: Wilson A. Martinez
• Vice Principal: Kevin Stansbury

Maxson

• Principal: Anthony Jenkins
• Vice Principal: Aurora J. Hill
• Vice Principal: Kevin Stansbury

My Prospective: I think changes should be made to that transfer involving Kevin Stansbury. Maybe, current Vice Principal of Educational Services Yvonne Breauxsaus, who has filled in for BOAACD Former Principal Shirley Johnson-Tucker should be placed back into a school. I will have more soon on a Part two to this post.

Have a GREAT DAY!
