Reconsideration of grant funded professional development position

Vote to reconsider 4: 3 in favor of reopening conversation
Mullaney, who filed for reconsideration, says "we did not have all the information we needed" to make the decision
wanted to know what was left out of that job
"the way it's been explained to me is that the school system has been underemphasizing professional development for accountability and all of those things" the accountability task force talk about last week
"nail was driven into the coffin early tonight" by principals of Level 4 schools citing staff development, don't want to be on their own
"looking around the district for where the weaknesses are"
unaware that this job: tracking PDP's, required by the state for her license
cites past holders of jobs
"some of this work still needs to be done"
"nobody has come up with a plan for who in our overburdened administrative world"
"still can't wrap my head around why we'd cut this job"
"all those other teachers are going to suffer from not having this job around"
