REGION ONE COMMUNITY  PLEASE READ THIS ARTICLE:
This was printed in the Afton Star Enterprise Newspaper which serves East Union School District, Dr. Vogel’s former employer, on June 7, 2018.
Did our Board of Ed know her district was left INSOLVENT, they couldn’t even make summer payroll without borrowing money, the month after she left -, before they made her Superintendent? They had over a year to check. Finance is a HUGE part of her job, how does our Bd of Ed ignore even asking?

Didn’t they have two years to check references and find out? 

Did our Board of Ed know they got rid of the grading system after she left and test scores IMPROVED? Or did they not bother to check on that either?

Did our Board of Ed see they changed the system AND started to listen to teachers AND parents.And it worked?

What did the Board of Ed do to insure they hired the best Superintendent they could? Were any references checked? Anyone even ask the previous school district how it worked there?

This paper is not online but pics of the whole article are in the comments. Please note, two years prior, the same newspaper reported test scores had not improved with the new grading system – test scores were “mediocre” per Pam Vogel (CLICK ON IMAGES TO READ ARTICLES)

A decision to eliminate letter grades in schools is expected to be revised after one school district received backlash from the community.

Windsor Locks moved away from the traditional A’s, B’s, and C’s, and adopted a new grading method.

The letters had been replaced with numbers for the grading system.

Four is the highest and zero is the lowest.

Since there are still five performance levels, many might be asking themselves what’s the difference.

The biggest difference is that only 4’s and 3’s are considered passing grades.

Anything lower won’t get students to the next step, which can be frustrating and confusing for students who may have had some C’s sprinkled in their report cards in the past.

At a meeting on Thursday night, parents and students complained to the Board of Education about the system.

The board listen and voted to start revising it.
