Half A Deal

July 1, 2009
 
New School Superintendent Steve Schultz took office today.

Yesterday, he had a meeting with the Daily Sentinel Editorial Board. According to the Sentinel,
Schultz said during an editorial board meeting with The Daily Sentinel he believes the district will see improved Colorado Student Assessment Program test scores during his tenure.
That's a good thing, right?

Maybe.

If my dear friend Bob Gardner was still alive, he would have told me, "we have half a deal." Bob liked to point out stuff like that.

Schultz says test scores are going to go up. What's missing is, or what?

Anyone can make empty promises. Schultz' promise would be more credible if he had included the or what part. Is he going to give up his raises if test scores don't go up? Is he going to put his contract on the line?

Obviously not. There was no or what.

We have half a deal.
