The endorsement shown below from former Fairfax superintendent Jack Dale is on the website of the president of Milestone Communications. Milestone Communications is the company that wants to put 3 cell towers on every public school playground in Virginia and Maryland.
Yes, this is the same superintendent Jack Dale who took the Pearson paid for trip to Australia with Jerry Weast.
What's up with superintendents endorsing products and taking trips from companies that want to do business with public school systems?
“While What Spins the Wheel was gleaned from an amazing, exhaustive bike ride across America, the leadership story is timeless and universal in its application. As a leader of a large United States school system, Len’s message applies to the important work of the leadership team, the school board and all the businesses serving the community. Len’s message to us all is an inspiration. Thanks Len for sharing your insights on leading.”
— Jack Dale, former Superintendent of Fairfax County Public Schools, Fairfax County, Virginia
The original, unedited endorsement:
ReplyDelete“While What Greases the Palm was gleaned from an amazing, exhaustive effort in coopting Regional school and elected officials, the lobbying story is priceless and unrivaled in its audacity. As a sellout of a large United States school system, Len’s message applies to any public official, who wants to get rich quick. Len’s message to us all, who want to game the system to our own personal benefit, is an inspiration. Thanks Len for sharing your money with those of us willing to sell out our children’s health and wellbeing.”
— Jack Dale, former Superintendent of Fairfax County Public Schools, Fairfax County, Virginia
