As promised during her campaign, Schools Superintendent Joy Hofmeister has rehung the Education of Fame portraits in the main hallways of the Department of Education. They had been moved to an interior hall.
But Janet Barresi’s consultant and former top aide, Jennifer Carter, said the main hallway was used to display student art during her tenure and there was nothing sinister about moving the photos during her tenure. The photos apparently were moved back to the main hallways just prior to Hofmeister’s taking of the oath on Monday at noon.
The portraits of public educators were removed from the hallways to display the student art, Carter said.
Carter also argued that negative stories about Barresi in recent days reflect a pattern of attacks on her.
“Just a bullcrap complaint from the Ed blob. Again, they want more recognition for themselves rather than the kids, which has always been Janet’s focus.”
She said The McCarville Report and others are “piling on” Barresi, who got less than 22 percent of the vote in her bid to retain office.
Is Barresi’s picture there?
Can Baressi and company please just go away… fade away and let the duly elected Superintendent have one day without your complaints! Good grief… LET IT GO!!!!!
Carter, you can defend her all you want, but there is no way you can justify her taking money from my wallet and giving it to her buds during her lame-duck dead-end days. Let’s hear your excuse for that.
That quote, good grief. So embarrassing.
