The Superintendent of Faith Family Academy purchased a home worth over a million dollars in…read moreDecember 2020, yet under her leadership the school has earned an "F" rating for three consecutive years. Parents who want to verify these failing scores will struggle to find them, as the Superintendent refuses to post them publicly as required. Her contract guarantees a base salary well above $300,000 per year, and with benefits and incentives she takes home over $500,000 annually. The contract protects her from ever receiving a pay cut--she is only eligible for raises, even as student outcomes continue to decline. How does someone get rewarded more for consistently failing students? The school board is no better. Roughly half of the board members responsible for financial oversight are her own family, and about three-quarters (still a part of her family) of the board work/preach at the same church, creating obvious conflicts of interest. Instead of prioritizing students and parents, Faith Family Academy has become a system that profits off the backs of Black and Brown children while delivering little in return. Adding to the hypocrisy, the Superintendent's own children do not attend Faith Family Academy. They are enrolled in private school. If Faith Family Academy is supposed to be a "top-class" institution, why wouldn't her own family attend? The reality is clear: while other people's children are left behind, her children are given the best opportunities money can buy--opportunities funded by taxpayers who were promised something better.
