Unorganized and Unqualified Leadership

Director of student support

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There are incredible students and staff here, similar to any district.

Cons

Leadership is incredibly unorganized and unpredictable. There is not a strategic plan to guide work. It is fire drill after fire drill. Leaders are reactive rather than proactive in their approaches. Leaders are unqualified in that they do not stay current on best practices and are so far removed from the actual happenings in the schools that they are ill informed. Pay is abysmal. Roles are not structured to be sustainable. Systems of support are not in place to sustain initiatives. Zero focus on equity. In fact FCS’s motto is where students come first but in reality it is where parents, administrators, and teachers that complain the loudest come first.
