    ‘An oversight, indeed!

    ’
    April 28, 2010

    Editor, Daily News:

    Re: Grading policy.

    Once again the Collier County Public Schools administration is an embarrassment to our
    county.

    This is the end of April; why were high-school parents and students not informed until now about
    the grading policy change? As a taxpayer, I find it unconscionable that an administrator would
    make a remark “that it was an oversight that all stakeholders weren’t informed.” An oversight,
    indeed! Are there so many layers in the bureaucracy at the administrative center that the right
    hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing?

    There is absolutely no excuse for this. The “buzz” word today in government is “transparency”
    and there certainly is nothing transparent about this action.

    We certainly can do better.
