Annapolis High School

It has been widely covered in the print media that AA Co. Superintendent Kevin Maxwell has required Annapolis High teachers and staff to reapply for their positions July 1, 2007.

This decision, made in hopes of improving test scores to at or above federally mandated levels, widely misses the mark. Maxwell has in fact blamed the teachers for the failure of a minority of students at AHS to pass federal standards. Students and parents must also bear responsibility too.

Though doubtful, I hope Maxwell will reconsider this failed policy. Otherwise many good students will miss out on many great teachers.
