Should Carol Johnson resign?

And you agree with city councilor John Connally who said look enough is enough Carol Johnson wants to keep -- -- -- -- principal who was. Convicted found guilty of beating his wife the mother his newborn child is now -- up -- another woman was -- it could get hooked up with another big. Money job in Memphis when the story broke. And Carol Johnson told the equal to a spokesperson that she'd hired this guy pack. And the people that should be in charge of Boston Public Schools I don't have kids I know skin in the game personally. But excited alarming. That a billion dollars of the city's budget. As spent in the school system and has all kind of shenanigans going on and the schools superintendent doctor Carol Johnson who -- them. Mysteriously. An extra 57000 all of us here. Her base pay is tied after 66 free house free car but -- somehow she takes home 323. In 2011. Do you bonus the bad behavior. Only have Massachusetts could this -- So time can we really insist on some accountability. In the state of Massachusetts. 61726. X 6868. Let's go to -- high nine. -- Let's say it's just incredible. That we have people. Apple still about them that I need it all due respect to mr. Conley. He's not so -- politician. Rhetoric. Nonsense and you even try. -- is did happen they happen. Well yeah but it's rhetoric about the kids and about justify current salary. People continue to affect our dictation it's. Been. Pregnant for buildings that we have to pay -- yeah. We have teachers and other unexpectedly so it's an -- to the the semis op and not be held accountable for their quality of the education and that so. Like this guy students still say that that the superintendent -- -- -- Although police see people responsible for 24/7. Year old. -- We have no -- in the budget. That was another -- I am a teacher that's another -- legal where they took away any kind of debts but responsibility. Our go to -- but. Protecting the children. I don't get it done and how me out on this idea I was aware that's what do you mean that they they can operate the schools. Budget in secret. So don't answer -- that -- budget they -- -- out. Autonomy in terms of budgetary. Expenses at schools what they're at school commit. You something very important. Consider that it -- of the fire department work around the clock earns less than half. What Carol Johnson's. -- out areas. Davis who runs on the city like a media hack -- is shooting Lackey gets shot her at a police officer is wounded. Davis runs around like and not. And he's making less than half of what doctor Johnson is making she lives of free every house she dragged around in a taxpayer funded vehicle. If somehow she need a bonus of 57000. Dollars and someone please explain that -- Well on top that toll as you pointed out this no accountability. Under route. -- opera on it -- all. It's possible. -- story about. You know a lot of pressure. People end and it's still an issue get into this political correctness should give critics I don't. Did your because it's not in the right on so many things but there is a danger in trying to fired -- -- council fired chuck turner. Who is. The it also serving time and at least alive in arrow but I think he got a three sentence structure is still in jail. And keep getting checked them pay because he was illegally fired from the City Council. About but again and again I would I am a recovering Democrat I was a Democrat I mean how people can not. Place the blame it on the liberal democratic -- process -- understand -- to -- Florida's vote Democrat. Didn't look so lots notes and people and -- and don't check it out that's why somebody who bought so. It's -- public -- being. Stich and now education. Is at it's a flat. It up front page -- US. This weekend at -- chips that student at this goals stop. Frontpage annual. Very rarely get to you know what I'm glad you brought that up and script and story out because he's right came as saying -- -- -- -- School -- in schools too easy. Degree at that time because that's my nieces and happy do you read. That they haven't this letter they haven't. Beating. Am I kid -- not. Fit in. But they don't come -- books. This list that's the last you know last summer had about Patrick spoke on. -- -- -- teacher over twenty years ago. Now -- -- Huge unions in the -- honestly thought they shouldn't have to correct papers. I mean when you don't what you call amnesty and -- and blow down the expectation to a (%expletive) about it yet just what to expect. Blow it on and -- little. And written since it was -- up mind you it's choked in when he in the democratic -- minister Condoleezza -- I mean opinion justify additional point that out pretty important last -- thousand dollars. -- performance. Are not. -- -- Packed time yeah she discovers god this is crazy done thank you like -- -- today Panasonic -- we are and fixated WRKO. Really if you kids in the Boston Public Schools and you hear about this woman doctor Carol Johnson getting a bonus at 57 covering up for the white beating principal. The idea everybody back in her old city of Memphis get locked up for fried. In the pride meters some of the problems we've had here in the Boston Public Schools to that he had a angle what the hell can we -- hold anyone accountable. What needs to be done in the schools on the. Shot CD WRKO. At a breaking story out of westar. Will be talking about how these prisons -- over Ryan was very violent. Convicts in the correction officers in the deputy sheriff said in a very tough time grappling but it. There's some news out of what's I'll share with you -- Welcome back this is Michelle -- -- mean we -- hands -- eighty WRKO. Many parents say to reporters -- not -- -- I think -- great job. A great job. You about just the litany of problems school buses packet there on time. Expired food in this school cafeterias. Our principal was convicted wife beater in Roxbury that she covered up the crime for kept on the payroll great job. Great job and are based pays 266 -- and I would argue with allot some 257000. Dollar bonus last year. And she took home 323000. Plus. It's true Harry she thinks twice as much as Mayor Menino twice as much as Ed Davis -- mission twice as much as the fire chiefs in the fire commissioner. I didn't see. Italy keeper came. Even though she said not only did -- protect the white -- principal from Roxbury. But -- -- and that. When Nash she admits she made a mistake. And she's continuing. To say well maybe I -- I answered all the differently. To Memphis and she left the FBI and swarmed and people -- -- an indicted down because it was such mismanagement. It was cool contracts. That -- awarded. Is a lot of questions there I mean an incident at Johnson and why we steadfastly depending her. Any different avenue at 323000. And do their job. Aria I'd I'd lock them. I used to be one of finance committee of historic town meeting member of my town. And when the school committee budget is approved a town meeting. After it's been approved in gross dollars a consent and anyway they want but if the fire chief wants to move they're looking blocks from. The school budget to perform to the public budget or whether view he can't do it unless he goes to town meeting and gets an affirmative vote. Every union contract in town has to be approved by town meeting. That the school. Committee. Negotiates its contract doesn't tell anybody anything. And not only doesn't town meeting get to -- -- still don't even get the courtesy. And information sheet just say. What I was involved in the settlement. I mean isn't a very big problem and in. I would argue that the school committee in in New York case the town committee has a right to know what's happening in the public schools because. Lucky you know I have skin in the game by virtue of paying taxes certainly don't have kids but this when when most of my budget is going to education. Most of my tax solace -- certainly I would hope there's some watchdog in place that -- making sure that that there had no big contracts I'm -- school bus companies that have connections. That you know school construction projects I'm being done by somebody's uncle he's a big questions that remain -- -- -- it because they get to operate a shroud of secrecy. Another problem is and and prevent a budget. They put the salaries send -- -- School books and all that stuff down and basically it counts is 40% of the budget whatever it is but when you're at the end. The -- fully well the budget with. Fringe benefits. And principal and interest on loans to renovate buildings and build buildings is close to that two birds. Of the budget and I gastric of the town meeting for a fully loaded. Budgets for the schools how much has total. A total resources that it takes and they don't wanna promote. It's crazy tied -- in the opening Newton where my tax dollars was spent building the Taj Mahal of high schools punish -- Baghdad. That. The unlawful -- Newton. Eleven million. But the Olympic size swimming pool and in its yogurt part phase. -- -- over a hundred million -- number. One last thing if Boeing may. -- middle school committee members. And I said what happens if you want to hire a superstar or science or math person. Because math and science is what we need the most. In our schools to excel -- I think can laugh and you ought to have a premium. Work or do they have to so they fit in to the schedule and in the labor union agreement. Sort of have a visit teacher with some -- in the master's degree and the supersize me after Easter with the tigers in the master's degree they have to get the same amount of money. That ain't never scroll in the ten years. And cantankerous. Old teachers and oh I missed this in years ago. On -- New educator. -- first. Absolutely gets to -- personal and all the energy in the allegedly the latest -- techniques to do the job. It's maddening thank you to -- for the -- in this current. And -- -- a total lack of accountability. How can we actually have our leaders say this -- she's done a great job. -- What she hasn't got a great job and get to school on time on school buses. Can you break allying annex with Michelle -- what do you think needs to be -- welcome. I'm out. I can't eat your. 24. Year so maybe I'm honored that -- I like to get rid. I apple app to read and pretty -- all of which came a -- art I hit. And had to be -- in order to maintain its certification. Water few. -- act that required -- to educate. Our teacher. For the government to collapse or that making that that. Is outrageous. I -- to it are considering it's cost me more money should be schoolteacher. And my best friend. Vice president of Microsoft. Doesn't eat that apple is degree. I don't have a problem with teachers pay and I actually don't -- -- and seems. I think comparable as I have no issue with that and I know -- -- the Summers that's the people is. Make -- big. -- -- you know you can Ericsson phones are supporting it's not a teacher pay -- me it's accountability. And the ability for schools superintendent making three and 23000 dollars a year but somehow there are these missteps that she tucked in. The idea that she's -- this wife beating principal place. As long as it began to media that is Alan that's disturb you as a teacher. I want to have more ethical systems in -- app and most of it on that I work for. Literally got it up there and not even out. -- -- to bear high school graduation. And it -- all time by Aaron. Teacher and the student. And teacher involvement -- Parents and students who were outraged. Some activity. That this. -- they get. -- -- you and the the guy in the movies. It really is no. Okay LL take you for the call let's go to Lisa at least a year -- Michelle McKee go right ahead. I had two point one -- I read that Boston Globe article -- -- on the weekend at. It's -- can -- that the gentleman was going to be happy exam school at tech guy in question. He went -- -- example because this school that he was eight former principal have had been closed down and I believe that because what they -- Here. -- take a loser we thank them. -- -- Elsewhere and the thing is the kids in the Roxbury school where he was obviously a great eating principal who failed as you pointed out Lisa. Because you and I both rattling through the little story which -- Burkle. And did you notice the very end they would hire this guy back the -- -- -- trying to -- school. And I -- on the planet and I and a lot of people can -- make it so great. People keep -- people around here. If it. A Republican or conservative or key priority person in the exact same conviction evil liberal type people when you're an issue -- To to -- and and no pressure to app with the issue but it's like when -- went there own innate beauty it's like it doesn't even happen. Matt good super bad grew -- there -- other college. I can't appear worse -- the culture of candy and that church and everything it's crazy. We weren't so Larry and we had a million here and we -- fast -- -- -- -- It can't drive me out of my my. It's -- -- -- I mean these I I hate to harp on EDT but the fact it did that about Patrick vetoed. Those very minor EDT reforms like a rocket attacks. On prince Albert body piercing and -- It's it's I imagine one person back this up but is no outcry at least that much in tune into talk radio. Did -- an outcry from anybody talk about getting -- area stamp on the taxpayer. It is the EC. Opt out you could run again he'd be real. Why because he can't an affirmative action black boy -- Not great -- it because. Yeah he achieved because he. Think he handed to him based on the color of its impact -- like the stupid president it's only. Ultimately. Thank you very much I appreciate that have a sonic -- we are and succeeding America know what needs to happen with the schools are. Welcome back spots in this is Michelle -- VR AM six feet of New York now. Had there was a correction officer we've been talking a lot about the violence taking place in prisons there was a CEO is surely. It MCI surely which is this is Eric house he correctional center who was almost murdered. By an inmate a couple weeks ago and now we have exclusively learned getting another. Worcester County sheriff has just been stabbed in the head in the abdomen. In the prison yard of the Worcester county jail. So these attacks happening all over the place nobody seems -- talk about it but us Karen and John McPhee show. But we have to do something about making sure that these CEOs are protected how noted we let -- Wear a stab vest. Hello with the prisoners who would be intimidated by that. Makes you crazy Ryan what are the many things that make you crazy about the stake already had. I'm Michelle I have I and I I'll listen you know what -- would stop put the schools with him in the city what does he need right now is they who knew me. That's that's number one because this may have just panders to the audience let all the does he went on a shirt she brought this -- from Tennessee or she would. And I got to -- left everywhere about locked up the FBI swarmed inside investigating all the missed. Mishandling of money. All of you know that -- that's that they may we need -- new mail in the city when it's pretty sad when the schools superintendent. Is that making that kind of money in the police commissioner. Who got a who's got a tough job is it is is basically at least -- that are. 2000 all lesson which she took home an Hendry can you explain speed -- -- 157000 -- your own. Smaller ensure that may have much to sign off on the situation doesn't it. I mean heck is she yeah she got a bonus that's more than some of the rookie cops -- making. That's right that's right you know but like I said today that previous caller callously enough. You know that the people contented you know they've they've you know they don't -- that they don't read newspapers the young people don't read newspapers. And they basically -- at all day and they don't have a clue what's going on and that you always when they do get married and they have a family. -- what do they -- they bailout they get out of the city because those who wants to send tickets for the schools in the city of Boston. Right I don't have apparently not a lot of people. They don't wanna open a business you heard the latest numbers we can't win. I am not kidding. In second the last place when it comes at a cost of operating visits only Hawaii is more expensive we -- -- when he. And ranking a business and they states on -- -- we are and succeed there.
