She did not try to even help when a LOT of students needed it. She would be very hesitant and give excuses so she didn't have to help. Very concerning to me, but at least she is somewhere else now.

Congratulations to the High School district for supporting such efforts! It's not easy to really make a difference, it takes a lot of hard work and it's great to see that Brigitte Sarraf concerned herself with high achieving kids in addition to championing minority kids.

Let's contrast that with Ayinde's approach in MVWSD. Rather than empowering and enabling his staff to make a difference (or doing some real hard work himself), he thought paying a half-million dollars for Teach to One would be a magic bullet that would provide "personalized" math to all kids. (No need to have any teachers evaluate the program before implementing for all 6th graders.)

The rest of his Strategic Plan? All flim-flam with no substance!

No wonder MVWSD kids have difficulties once they get to High School.
