I can't describe my feelings about him in polite company. Needless to say he is a horrible back stabbing person. He was promoted and demoted so many times it would give a yo-yo motion sickness. We were celebrating in the halls the day he left.<br /><br />Joe Burke was also an upper level administrator during that same time period. They are like two peas in a pod, so it's not surprising they ended up together.<br /><br />A-Rod actually thought he would be superintendent of this school system (4th largest in the nation). His plan was to get some experience as superintendent under his belt in some unsuspecting school system and resurface here to vie for the superintendent's position. Looks like the jerk got derailed.<br /><br />All I can say is God help the citizens of Tavernier with those two clowns running things. Let's drop to our knees and pray for their latest victims. We here in his old school are also going to thank God that he has not returned!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035949355013113578.post-79361295173500369602010-04-16T14:04:41.620-04:002010-04-16T14:04:41.620-04:00"this entire episode is Exhibit A."
