UGOTNERVE cannot get pass Mr. Morton’s proud statement that 70% of Rolfe’s staff feels safe while at school. As we shared, one educator pointed out that that is a “D” on Henrico’s grade scale, one point away from failure. Like my grandmama used to sing in church every Sunday, “Not even 99 and 1/2 will do, we got to make that 100!”. We wish that the leaders of Henrico Schools had 100 as their goal for our children, educators, and schools.
Not only is it disgusting that 70% is acceptable for our children, it is sickening that they would “brag” about it as though this is a great accomplishment. This statement by Morton is enough to have him removed. The school board extended his contract so that he can retire from Henrico. We want to ask the board did they also extend his contract so that he could “retire” our children.
The question has to be asked why the previous board did not extend Morton’s contract when they had the opportunity to. At no point did the new board ask the county of Henrico, its parents, educators, or residents for their opinion on whether to extend Morton’s contract, they just did it as they played the political game.
Morton’s contract needs to end in June 2008, or sooner if possible. He does not deserve another year to destroy the lives of our children.
We wonder if anybody in Henrico has heard Bush’s statement:
