 The force-placed employees were obviously not going to get a fair shake at their new schools.Most are loyal employees that DISD knows, look at years with DISD,any over 3 years are good and most likley very good. Alot of administrators not supporting employees. THE FAT IN THE DISTRICT IS IN THE LAYERS OF OVER PAID Administrators and half baked programs.

You know what? I am happy to say, "who cares?

What are the names of the school board members that would possibly support Goodsel?

Surprisingly, no one is discussing the 1000+ employees in custodial and hvac who will be let go January of next year.

The documents are posted to the district website under Vendor Opportunities.

What did she have on Hinajosa?

If the tax paying public knew the truth about this person, they would have protested until she was removed. Unfortunately, because DISD has the ability and resources to cover up the truth, most people have no idea what is really going on. Another sad but true reality is that most of the public who would care enough to demand that people like Goodsell be "straightened out" do not have their children in the DISD and have forgotten the DISD. "Out of sight, Out of mind" .  I hear so often, "why do the teachers stay so silent......they are there in the trenches every day.....why don't they speak up? "  They are terrified to speak up because if they do.......people like Goodsell will do anything they can to make life a living hell. It is truly one of the most unhealthy enviornments I have ever seen. The scariest part is that it has continued to get worse especially this year. District policies are being broken on so many campuses and the administrators are saying "You are lucky to have a job" , implying that you will not have one if you speak up. So many teachers are running scared. There are many Goodsell's in the DISD. We are all blessed to know that we have one less now but it is going  take a LARGE AND BRAVE group of employees to  SPEAK OUT with the UGLY details as to what is really going on. I honestly do not think there are enough teachers who would be willing to go out on the limb. It is a sad time. What kinds of abuse of policy are we talking about? Taking away district mandated break or planning periods, overloading classes to a point where control and safety are issues, taking away any right for a teacher to have a student who is out of control and preventing learning from taking place in the class, threatening teachers who write referrals with "inability to manage classroom" write -ups, giving teachers an impossible paper work load, threatening teachers who say they are going to file a grievance for abuse of policy, asking teachers to do illegal things such as teaching classes and saying it is another class.....so to make it look like the school is meeting state requirements and I could go on and on and on!

Another huge problem we are facing is the administrators who are bullying teachers who they do not like personally. I have seen many administrators who have completely ignored Board Policy when it comes to releasing teachers during the two most recent layoffs....They have a mentality that rules do not apply to them. They will continue to get away with these behaviors if teachers do not STAND UP TO THEM. DISD spends a huge amount of money on greivances but very few of the people who have a very legitimate greivance file them.

I am scared to say much of anything myself because I have witnessed many of our best educators be horribly abused in the past few years and admit I am guilty of putting my tail between my legs and just walk off shaking my head. This in and of itself tells me that bullying is at an all time high because we are all so scared to demand we are treated as human beings. Most of us care a great deal about public education and we know that if this kind of abuse of power continues, public education in the DISD will continue to fail our children and communities.

Having had contact with Ms. Goodsell while working at the District, I can say that I witnessed the woman's behavior. She was the "Queen of Mean!". She would not have lasted had it not been for Hinajosa! Let us not forget that she was engaged to him many years ago.

In rebuttal to the person who lauded the BOT, perhaps he should know their function. The BOT's function is to hire the superintendent and to make policy. They are not to be in the everyday operations of the District. Currently, they are making all the decisions.

The new word on the street is they have done away with the competitive bidding process and are very much involved in the selection programs. Another item is the BOT is involved in the textbook selection, this could imply kickbacks!

As someone who is married to a Bryan Adams employee, I am absolutely elated that this crook has lost her high-paying position. Under her rule I heard countless horror stories about the atrocities she created for not only her students but her staff as well. The only reason she was appointed principal at Bryan Adams HS was because of her affair with Dr. Michael Hinojosa, former DISD Superintendent. Her husband found out about their tryst and as "hush money," the husband demanded his wife, Goodsell, be promoted to a higher paying position, thus she became Bryan Adam's principal.

She was supposed to be the beacon of hope for a once remarkable high school, but she left a path of destruction in her wake. She would put on a fake smile for parents and students, yet behind closed doors, she would try to manipulate the system and numbers so that all things Bryan Adams would directly benefit her own personal agenda. 

My husband was and continues to be miserable at Bryan Adams. I am also a teacher and I cannot imagine what a beating it must be to work at a school where you take one step forward and two steps back. The school has the worst possible hangover from Cindy Goodsell and no amount of Alkaseltzer can ease the pitiful state Bryan Adams is in.

Under Goodsell's command, student enrollment was drastically reduced due to students being kicked out for no apparent reason other than, they were the wrong color, gender, sexual orientation, etc. And while this action did help improve TAKS scores and the overall atmosphere of the school, Completion Rates (Graduation Rates) dropped tremendously, allowing a school already deemed "Academically Unacceptable" to fall lower and lower on DISD's list of High School-further damaging any potential Bryan Adams had or has to pull themselves out of the slump Mrs. Goodsell created.

My husband was recently chastised for his CEI scores (an index that shows student improvement, his was a 49, Bryan Adams wanted it to be a 50) by which Goodsell lived and breathed. He teaches Pre-AP kids- the best of the best- and yet it was a strike against him when a student who made a 95 on their first exam made only a 98 on the next exam. Because there was only a 3 point improvement on a student's test grade, this was a negative factor in his CEI! This index was used as an evaluating tool by Goodsell and DISD. How can you reasonably justify evaluating teachers based on CEIs when their students are already meeting and exceeding expectations?

Yet, despite the fact that his index (49 and remember, Bryan Adams wanted a 50!) was higher than the school's average and the DISTRICT'S average, he was still put on an Academic Monitoring Plan.  Please tell me how a school that is deemed "Academically Unacceptable" for years in a row should set their bar any higher than the district's average? If you want to improve your school, take small steps back to acceptable and THEN work on exceeding the average!

The school has gone to hell in a handbasket and most employees I know see a pin-hole of light at a seemingly endless tunnel. Teachers are ill-equipped to deal with the issues at Bryan Adams and hopeful, optimistic teachers are hard to come by. I am sure that this lack of morale trickles down to the students. How can Bryan Adams or DISD expect the students to be excited to come to school when the teachers themselves hate coming to work?

I will continue to be baffled by the mismanaging of the majority of DISD schools and pity those who get wrapped up in the money-hungry, self-important personal agenda of the dim-witted and seemingly oblivious assholes who run the show.

Education is for the kids, not your wallet.

Wow, I am in shock.  My children graduated from Bryan Adams and where there when Ms. Goodsell took over.  Ms. Goodsell was exactly what BA needed and did wonderful things to start it's much needed turnaround of improvements.  I cannot believe the district would let one of their prized educators go.  This is a Sad day for DISD.  Please wake up and look at what you are doing to our children.

BA Parent2001-2009

The district will NEVER tell the true story behind her firing....but this firing is a GOOD thing for DISD!! As a parent when she was in her 1st year @ BA, my first impression wasn't good, there was just something that made you say,"Hmmm"....NOW, this sums it ALL up! There was always something about her "snakey smile"....genuinely FAKE!!

Hail RAMOS!

PETER PRINCIPLE ??

The principle holds that in a hierarchy, members are promoted so long as they work competently.Eventually they are promoted to a position at which they are no longer competent .

Her management style is catching up with her. Now she's thedeadwood. “Live Die the Sword, Die by the Sword”. What goes around comes around.If you wait long enough good things will happen to bad people.

To quote the Wizard of Oz: “Ding Dong The Witch is Dead” 

“Ding Dong The Witch is Dead” 

Now what's going happen to her Flying Monkeys? Will see!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The writings were on the wall yet BOT was color blind to see it. Why did they wait until Hinojosa was gone to do the firings and reorganization? I hope they are not making any mistake with the interims they appointed. Dorothy Gomez didn't even warm her seat as ED now she's the senior secondary sumthing. Jackie Landry interim curriculum chief knows jack about curriculum. Vincent Reyes, shufly needed to be splat a long time ago. New math director who also knows jack coz she's not certified in Math. The list goes on and on.

Alan King, please review the principals 'appointed' by the ED's. If they are same fraternity with the ED's or went with the same church, or former buddy/classmate in their superintendent class, then favoritism and subjectivity played a role in their hiring. Let's face it, who among our high school principals were selected based on their special leadership abilities and skills to lead a campus? Let me know if you know of one solid, non partisan and voted by the selection panel and I will think about changing my mind on how DISD principal hirings were done. I betcha the answer is none.

There are to many high paid executive jobs at DISD.What is a Director? Who reports to Director.What is Division executive secondary school division,isn't high school and secondary schools the same? Kids cannot learn because to many Employees between Principles and Supertendant. Such a waste of money and Board does not seem to care about that silo of people doing nothing but taking up space.

What a shame. She was a diamond surrounded by poo poo.

-Hillcrest complaints about chronic problem teachers with apparently no result-Franklin complaints about chronic problem teachers with apparently no result-BTW complaints about same-ED Walker complaints that out-of-town principal was hired while excellent in-district APs were not even interviewed-Marsh complaints that out-of-town principal was hired even though teachers signed petitions to have existing APs considered.  APs were not even interviewed-Woodrow complaints about facility and staffing issues-AC issues at most schools   *maybe don't let your child take the SAT at BA-Bond work issues not resolved at Hillcrest, Franklin, Woodrow -Other MS and HS almost beyond hope, but very few staff/admin changes being made

-HUGE issues at Bryan Adams.  HUGE.  Can't believe the whole Goodsell's asst story investigated and resigned story didn't make the news.  

Just remember that in the midst of all of this, there are children.

If EDs get to pick the principals, EDs need to be held acct for what happens at schools.  To children.

Love the way "senior executive director"  can simply replaced by "interim division executive"....

My understanding is that there have been many complaints about principal hirings under her made by parents, teachers, and other administrators.  

The public needs to understand that EDs have a lot of power to hire principals (the 2-Goats-and-the-Coached interview panel is a sham).

Kids, parents, and teachers get stuck with the aftermath of what can be nepotism and cronyism hires.  Halliday Elementary's recent issues have raised many questions about the relationship between that area's ED and the principal appt to Halliday (since moved in spite of allegations).

EDs need to understand that parents, teachers, and other administrators are no longer willing to put up with incompetent crony/nepotism hires who stand by and do nothing about chronically bad teachers, facility issues, and thugs.

Principal spots are not party favors to be handed out based on who you know.  Teachers and parents  need a forum to evaluate weak principals.  Bad teachers stand as an indictment of weak principals, but so far there have been no consequences for the principals.  Or the EDs who give them their plum spots.

Gone are the days of the Chief Cook & Bottle Washer .

Ugh, just when I think blog comments are tough here, I go visit DMN's DISD blog. Poisonous. And bloody. Reminds me how much I don't miss it.

This will tell you more about the DUI's. Alleged DUI's and cover-up.

She allegedly covered-up the multiple DUI's of her former vice-principal that she recently promoted to principal. That and being hated by probably everyone,  including 90% of the secondary principals didn't help.

They are out of their minds.

Way to tighten the talking points and inspire confidence in the taxpayers, DISD.
