Arlington super must detail outside compensation by 5 p.m.

Hector Montenegro has until the end of business today to detail any outside expenses, honoraria or other compensation he may have received from nonprofits or other education groups for consulting, speaking or other personal services rendered since taking over as Arlington superintendent Feb. 1. School trustees asked Montenegro for details about his work with outside entities as some concerns arose about his ties to the nonprofit Hope Foundation and the presence of that foundation's materials in the district, including the book Failure is Not an Option: Six Principles That Guide Student Achievement in High-Performing Schools.

Well, heaven forbid we have a book or program in the district that promotes ACHIEVEMENT by the students. Before the trustees get on some witch hunt for this guy, they need to put the kids' education first & foremost.
