			<description><![CDATA[Let us count the ways: 1. The principal at the suspect school, McCreery, apparently wasn't demoted, punished or fired. She's simply been transferred to be principal of another school (Bok). What kind of message does THAT send? 2. The district is apparently sitting on its hands waiting for the state to tell them how seriously to take their own data. THIS is how you run a $3 billion operation? Waiting for your political overseers to tell you what to do? Kudos to the Notebook and WHYY for pursuing this story. It is a crying shame that adult public officials can hold their heads up given the rampant ethical and professional violations they publicly acknowledge have occurred (not to mention the ones we don't know about!). If there were any justice the folks responsible would be out of work and all those school nurses, librarians, and guidance counselors laid off would be re-hired.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[When people question authority, they are slapped back and told to be a team player. What if they are right? The leadership must be secure enough to be able to believe that they are not the super heros and that they could be wrong. How do we build a culture where those who question the system are not pushed aside.]]></description>
