I look at Rochester Public Schools - Independent
School District #535, Superintendent Michael Munoz's
Twitter feed and it is laughably bad.
This is the Twitter feed of a strong, proven leader or a business professional?
It looks like some of the very bad feeds I have seen in searches ran by teens or people with no business or leadership backgrounds.
There is no discussions or tweets on core educational issues, nothing stressing or talking about problems, just pure public relations based garbage.
I mean, it almost seems like the guy is trying to be cool or relevant with kids in the district instead of showing that strong, leadership example and supposed skill set he was brought in to put on display.
I'm pretty sure he wasn't paid and vetted to be the best friend to students and teachers, but to lead them and right now, I just don't see it.
Someone, please get this guy either a Twitter or Social Networking Guide for Dummies and maybe lets see some of the promised leadership initiatives and great dynamic changes, your promised to bring about when you signed on.
The community is still waiting. 2 years have come and gone and nothing amazing has happened as of yet?
All I see from my vantage point is a lot of "smoke and mirrors" and no substance at this point.
And from my personal dealings with Michael Munoz through a illegal and criminal letter he and Brenda Lewis sent, violating two parent's civil rights, most specifically, the rights to free expression,
he is that atypical angry Hispanic leader, that imposes his hardcore overzealous Catholic views and authoritarian, anal conformist views, that school figures are 100% right on anyone who speaks out against him or offers an opposing view point.

Trust me when I say, he is not a great communicator, is not well liked as this horrible p.r. piece would leave you to believe and is not the dynamic visionary leader this joke of a biographical description makes him out to be:
Mr.
Michael Muñoz started his tenure as Superintendent of Rochester Public
Schools on Friday, July 1, 2011. Mr. Muñoz comes to Rochester from Des
Moines, Iowa, where he most recently was the Chief Academic Officer of
Des Moines Public Schools, a diverse district of 32,000 students. Board
members and supervisors describe Mr. Muñoz as having extensive knowledge
of all academic programs and services, as an advocate to high
achievement for all, as an excellent communicator, and as a visionary
leader. He engages the community, is collaborative in his work, and is
highly respected by his staff as a productive and positive leader.
Prior
to his appointment as Chief Academic Officer, Mr. Muñoz served as
regional executive director for the Northeast Region of Des Moines
Public Schools. Mr. Muñoz's other work experiences include classroom
teaching at both the middle school and high school levels, elementary
and secondary school counselor, and principal at the elementary and
middle school levels. In his time at Des Moines Public Schools, Muñoz
has focused on increasing graduation rates, college enrollment, and the
number of students on track to graduate college-ready. In his 32 years
in education, Mr. Muñoz has been a strong supporter and facilitator of
partnerships between schools, businesses, and the community.
Born
and raised in Lexington, Nebraska, Mr. Muñoz earned his bachelor's
degree in secondary education from the University of Nebraska, a
master's degree in Developmental Counseling and administrative degree
from Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, and a specialist degree from
Iowa State University.
This is the public relations section of the Rochester Schools website for those of us who have dealt with the often
angry, unreasonable, Rochester Public Schools - Independent School District #535 Superintendent Michael Munoz: (

He is trigger happy, over reacts often and from what I have read and in conversations I have had with others locally, many share the opinion that he is not qualified to run a school corporation of this size, budget or student enrollment.
I have seen glaring deficiencies in how people at the Edison building have handled various tasks and the huge communications and follow through problems that exist.
I can't wait till the new
Mayo Clinic facilities come on line and a deluge of new students come into the district.
They can't handle doing the small things right now with a average size enrollment for a city this size, I will sit back and watch as things unravel at the seams and they "crash and burn" under the continuous stresses of dramatic, enrollment increases.
From what I have seen, they don't have the right role players in leadership positions and when someone commits a major screw up, their is no re-direction, retraining or accountability.
They actual engage in cover-ups, well choreographed attacks on anyone who questions a mistake and they use a culture of silencing, harassment, threats, police abuses/ brutality through a police liaison, illegal letters that ban federally protected rights and other malicious, Goon or Mob family like tactics.
So, when enrollment, paper work and
Edison Building office staff demands increase, they won't be ready.
I will be one of those guys gladly proclaiming, "see I told you so", as I did try to help things become a little more efficient using best practices used in successful business management, and they all were so high strung and superior in their own minds, that no one wanted to listen to some decent, fair, honest feed back.
So, I'll sit back, watch and wait.
That "crash and burn" moment, either because of failed leadership at the top or by middle management will come eventually, and a bit of me will feel avenged when these gigantic failures and problems are a very openly discussed, public ordeal in the local media...
