No surprise to readers here, the Cambridge Report has documented just why exactly, the BOE fails at improving Norwalk schools. The picture is not pretty.
Improve the district culture and climate which is regarded by many people in schools, central
office, and the community (including parents) as lacking in openness and authenticity. Many staff and parents feel undervalued, disempowered, and isolated. District senior leaders need to take action to improve the district’s culture, in part by improving communication as noted above.
Openness! Authenticity! Why not transparency and we’ll have the blog mantra of holistic governmental improvement.
