CETF Demands Fairness and Integrity in the Search for a Superintendent

On February 9, 2012, the Community Education Task Force held a press conference at Phillis Wheatley Library where they demanded that the superintendent search process have integrity and fairness applied to it. The press release stated that CETF demanded that the Rochester City School District provide "...parents, educators, and the larger community with details regarding the very expensive subterfuge created by the Superintendent Search Committee, under the 'leadership' of Malik Evans, and under the false guise of so-called 'robust' parent and community input. It is clear that the search process is illegitimate, and biased in favor of Bolgen Vargas." This is part 1--the press statement. It runs about 15 minutes and includes clips from other actions taken by CETF and its allies in attempting to create a more democratic and transparent Rochester City School District.

The second video from the CEFT press conference was the unedited Q&A session after the press statement was made. It runs 45 minutes.
