Dr. Melody Johnson
The selection of the new
Fort Worth Superintendent concerns the African American community and
school leaders questioning how effective Dr. Melody Johnson will be in
raising academic standards for Black students in the district. Johnson,
who is white, has been a Providence, Rhode Island superintendent since
2002. State records reveal she has been unsuccessful with bringing
African American and Hispanic academic test scores above state standards
and according to Rhode Island State Board of Elementary and Secondary
Education District report cards, is leaving the district with schools
either making insufficient progress or in serious improvement needs. |
