Former superintendent to be recognized
Retired Springfield City Schools Superintendent Jean Harper will be recognized for her contributions to the district during her four-year tenure at a reception next week.
The Springfield Foundation/the African American Community Fund has sent out more than 350 invitations for a reception in Harper’s honor at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 11, at Holiday Inn on Leffel Lane.
The foundation has chosen to honor Harper based on her efforts to make scholarships available to area students through the foundation, in addition to her achievements at the helm of the district in completing the 16-school building project, managing the district through financial crisis and raising academic achievement to continuous improvement.
Mayor Warren Copeland will present a city commission proclamation recognizing Harper’s service to the city schools.

What did she do for the schools that any coherent person could have done?The answer is NOTHING, she did a poor job.Our school district is putting into society horribly uneducated and ignorant students.I am former student at SCS and former teacher and I have seen the incompetent decisions that Harper made.The new schools they would have been built with Peter Griffin (from tv’s Family Guy) steering the ship.Our students have been let down by this district and more importantly by those running the district.And until the community wakes up to the fact that the people they expect to educate their children are making incompetent decisions that is pulling the quality of education down…then we will continue to see more and more people and companies leaving the dying town of Springfield.
