Managing Human Element at Work

Notes Although Bush and the other participants steadfastly maintained that his visit was not
about politics, at least one DPS board candidate was having none of it.
Emily Sirota, a candidate for an open seat in Southeast Denver, issued a stern statement
taking Hancock to task for “standing with George W. Bush during an election-timed
visit” and for “promoting the failed No Child Left Behind policy that has so harmed our
schools.”
Sirota — whose opponent, Anne Rowe, won an endorsement from Hancock earlier this
month — did not hold back in her criticism of the mayor: “No Child Left Behind is one
of the most destructive education policies enacted in the last 10 years. Our mayor’s
behaviour today only draws unnecessary lines in the sand, while needlessly undermining
the important work of Senator (Michael) Bennet, who is working to finally reform No
Child Left Behind.”
She added that skeptical comments uttered by DPS Superintendent Tom Boasberg — who
took over after his predecessor, Bennet, was appointed to a Senate vacancy — regarding
the current federal law amounted to the only “good news” resulting from Bush’s visits.
Only Boasberg, Sirota said, “had the guts to speak out against No Child Left Behind.”
