Seven School Principals Fired

(Fresno, California) In an effort to improve the performance of students in the district, the Fresno Unified School Board decided to fire the principals of seven underperforming schools. Yeah, seven principals are being booted. Seven people were promoted or hired into positions of leadership and then simultaneously found to be incompetent. What are the chances?

Now, I'm not a statistician but it seems that having to fire seven leaders of seven schools might be an indication that they are not the problem with the poorly performing school system. In fact, it tends to hint at a more general, system-wide problem.

Nevertheless, the seven ousted educators will be notified by March 15th.
