Days after the Akron Public Schools superintendent told the school board he doesn’t always feel supported in his role, the board passed a resolution in support of Michael Robinson and attributed many recent successes in the district to his leadership.
The resolution was titled, “Resolution proclaiming the excellent progress of the Akron Public School District and congratulating scholars, staff and the superintendent on their accomplishments.”
The board “recognizes that the community has recently heard negative stories about Akron Public Schools,” the resolution states, and is “proud of the progress made by scholars in the Akron Public School District under the leadership of Superintendent Dr. Robinson.”
The resolution said the board “hereby formally recognizes and congratulates scholars, staff, and the Superintendent on the outstanding progress that has been made under the leadership of Superintendent Dr. Robinson,” and “reaffirms the excellent performance evaluation of Superintendent Dr. Robinson and encourages him to continue the positive progress and momentum he has established within the District.”
