Tina Thomas-Manning has been the superintendent of Reynoldsburg (OH) City Schools for only 4 months. During that time, she has alienated the community and demonstrated disrespect for this community's teachers. During recent teacher contract negotiations, she promoted extreme changes to the contract including withdrawal of district-provided health insurance for teachers and their families, and merit pay based on standardized test results, using a suite of brand new, untried standardized tests. When the teachers were forced to strike, she had to be ordered to remain at the negotiating table by a local judge. She was presented with a petition of "No Confidence" asking for her resignation, signed by 1000 citizens, to which she did not respond. She does not deserve to be called a leader.
