Schoemehl cuts and runs

By Antonio D. French

Filed Monday, November 21 at 4:42 PM

According to the AP, Vince Schoemehl said in his letter of resignation that he always had intended to serve just one year on the school board. If that is true, that was probably information he should have shared with the voters before they elected him.

And why leave now?

Maybe Vince thinks that his work is done. Let's review his record.

Points needed for full accreditation - 66
SLPS points in 2005 - 39
SLPS points in 2004 - 48
SLPS points in 2003 - 64

Graduation Rate in 2005 - 58.6%
Number of Black Graduates - 1,229
Number of Black Dropouts - 1,337

Avg. teacher salary in 2002 - $38,627
Avg. teacher salary in 2004 - $39,870
Percent increase - 3.2%

Avg. admin. salary in 2002 - $65,451
Avg. admin. salary in 2004 - $75,096
Percent increase - 14.7%

How's that for a legacy?
