Link to 2018 rankings:
I am terribly disappointed. These results do not match the rhetoric you
heard over the past year from Frank Quatrone as he was trying to justify his recent 20% raise and all those merit bonuses he already received.
The Board needs to wake up. We spent the last year arguing over an
unnecessary $8M administration building, a 20% raise for Quatrone, and all
those doctrines of necessity. Over the past year, we spent too much time watching LEA activists disrupt our
meetings. We watched Frank Quatrone encouraging LEA activists to disrupt our meetings. We watched Board members
pandering to LEA activists while neglecting Lodi’s students.
Enough is enough!
We need to address our curriculum and academic
programs.
One obvious problem is the poor passing rate on AP
exams which is listed at 7%. I tried to
bring this up many times when I first joined the Board. Unfortunately, it wasn’t a priority for the
Board majority and superintendent.
Lodi needs to elect Board members that put students first instead of their own self-interests.
