In considering how to best get this work done, Cartwright, if smart, has no other choice but to choose Wanza as Deputy Superintendent. It is not a matter of who you like, but what you need. I don’t like cold ice water, but if I were in the hell that Cartwright is in, I would take what I need and drink up. […]
If beating a dead horse was a person, I would surely have a cowboy hat, like my daddy on my head and a leather whip in my hand. […]
Last week I told you that Broward’s Superintendent, Vickie Cartwright, behaves like someone else is her boss, not the Blind Nine Board members who appointed her to the office. Furthermore, not ONLY did they turn a blind eye to her actions, they all seem blind to the Super’s disregard for them. […]
I continue to process what occurred on Tuesday with Broward’s Blind Nine and Superintendent Cartwright. Considering the fact that the building is named after the late and great Kathleen C.

Last week I penned an opinion about the “Great Replacement” theory that appears to be woven into the fabric of decision making in the Broward County School System combined with a covert white washing of Black administrators from out of Black schools. […]
Now you see her, now you don’t […]
If We Don’t Say Black at the Ballot Booth, What Will Happened? […]
Over the last two weeks, I have focused on the reorganization of leadership in Broward County Public Schools. With 41 percent of Broward students identifying as Black, one would assume that Superintendent Cartwright would be actively looking for candidates to advocate for what is educationally sound for Black students. It is not enough to have Black teachers or even Black principals. While the work of Black teachers and principals is extremely valuable to the experience of Black children, there must be representation at the highest levels of the organization where policy decisions are being made and where decisions about how money to support schools and programs are spent.
