We were definitely right about Amato

Last night, the public got a chance to question the finalists for Kansas City School District superintendent. So it’s as good a time as any to check in on KC’s last superintendent, Anthony Amato.

After less than a year, Amato was pushed out, leaving a lot of arguing behind. Were his key programs just canned plays he always implemented? Was he a decisive leader willing to do what needed to be done to turn Kansas City’s schools around or just an asshole who couldn’t work with anyone? Based on the reporting we did, it seemed like the latter. And it’s looking more and more like we were right.
