Welcome to Central Falls Rhode Island High school. It is one of the worst in Rhode Island. Statistically fewer then half of the 800 member student body will graduate within four years.

96% of the students are eligible for free or reduced lunch and the high school breaks down racially 65% Hispanic 14 % black and 13 % white.
25% of the students receive English as a second language services.

Faced with a concerned community demanding action State Education Commissioner Deborah Gist gave local Central Falls High School Superintendent Frances Gallo a mandate to clean up her school.

Gallo chose a federally guided model called a “transformation plan” to turn her school around that would require the teachers to undergo such horrible requirements like:
1) Lengthening the school day by 25 minutes.
2) Summertime training courses.
3) Eating lunch with the students once a week.
4) Submit to more rigorous evaluations of their work.
5) Provide tutoring before and after the school day to students in need.

What more of an evaluation of these “educators” would be needed other the the cold fact that half of their student body does not graduate?

Faced with these new unbearable hardships what did the teachers union do? They rejected the plan in total because it did not come with any extra pay. Apparently these “educators” who makes up to $78,000 a year were more concerned with their bottom line then their students.
This gave Gallo no choice but to switch to the tougher “turnaround” plan which under federal guidelines would require her to fire all 74 teachers and not hire back more then 50% of them.

We here at Southiecab.com would like to thank Gallo for her efforts to turn around her school and put the needs of her students above the needs of her local teachers union. Is it not high time that our “educators” faced consequences for poor performance?
