Petruzielo: Marlow’s “Lack of Effectiveness” Prompted Complaint – Schools – Canton-Sixes, GA Patch

Cherokee County Superintendent of Schools Dr. Frank Petruzielo is not the one to mince words when it’s his time to voice his opinion.

In maintaining that tradition, Petruzielo has followed through with AdvancED’s call for the district to respond to allegations made by School Board Member Marlow that the Cherokee County School Board can not govern effectively and at least one board member maintains an improper relationship with school district staff members.

The superintendent added that, in his opinion, it’s Marlow’s “frustration from her own lack of effectiveness” propelled her to file the complaint with AdvancED, “rather than following the guidelines for effective school board member governance and leadership provided to her through training by GSBA, the school board attorney (Tom Roach), myself and my staff.”

Petruzielo noted he hopes AdvancED will “determine that no further action” is needed by the district so the fear that accreditation could be in jeopardy could be “put to rest.”
