ATLANTA -- The fate of Atlanta Public School district's superintendent rests in the hands of the school board. The board will meet Monday to discuss whether to extend Erroll Davis' contract.
Davis took over as the interim superintendent on the heels of the CRCT cheating scandal. While many applauded his efforts to keep accused educators out of the classroom, Davis recently came under fire after replacing the principal and five administrators at North Atlanta High School. Davis became APS superintendent in 2010, in the wake of the Criterion-Referenced Competency Test, or CRCT scandal in which nearly 200 educators were accused of changing answers on the exams.
Since arriving, Davis has worked to keep accreditation for the district and led a massive redistricting process.
Davis supporters and opponents have become quite vocal in recent weeks.
"He had 71 meetings in one month and that was after this process started in 2009," said Shawnna Hayes-Tavares, a parent who supports Davis. "As a parent, I've been involved in every one of those meetings since 2009, and I think he listened to the demographers, he listened to the public based on the options they changed. He listened and got input from board members and others. He came into this school system right on the heals of the CRTC scandal."
But others say Davis has poorly handled several big challenges, such as the cheating scandal at North Atlanta High School. Six administrators, including the principal, were fired in October.
"I think he did do a lot of destruction because he didn't communicate with the people who are involved with these school systems. The people who really know how to make it work," said Molly Read Woo, a parent who opposes keeping Davis. "The people who've dedicated their lives to seeing a lot of success for our students. For example when he pretty much gutted the administration at North Atlanta. He didn't communicate with Nancy Meister the board member who's in charge of that district before he just beheaded it."
