You can always count on Miami Today Publisher Michael Lewis to do what the Miami Herald editorial board won’t do. This week, Lewis takes Miami-Dade County Schools Superintendent Rudolph “Rudy” Crew and School Board Chairman Agustin Barrera to the wood shed and whups them real good. Here’s an excerpt:
For years, several board members in the nation’s fourth-largest school district have been asking embarrassing questions of Superintendent Rudy Crew. When they seek details, he refuses and says things like:“I do not believe that the effort required of my staff to gather and organize the information regarding job descriptions and cost of all board office renovations … is an effective use of their time.”
Would you dare tell that to your bosses? You’d be out of a job in 10 minutes flat.
And since Dr. Crew’s bosses are chosen at the ballot box, he’s thumbing his nose not only at the school board but at you. How does it feel?
Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $17,800 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
