Recently the CEO of the Springfield Urban League has been selected to the Board of security bank, while this is quite an honor for her as CEO of The Springfield Urban League ,it is less of an honor for the Head Start program administered by the Springfield Urban League. Since 2010 the program has steadily declined while the administrators seemingly prospered. After several plus years of lack luster administration. Head Start is losing 2 to 3 locations due to administrative errors in judgment, shortsightedness and infighting against a duly elected Union. Through the determined and pointed opposition to unionization, many longtime employees were dismissed to the detriment of the program and its clients (which is most of the Eastside). It is certainly wonderful that that the CEO has been accorded this honor but what about the clients (parents and children) and employees of Head Start? This is a situation where a prominent person whose personal and public espousals indicate that the community is their prime focus but their actions tell another story. Ask the parents and employees of Head Start if their well being is being secured by this organization.
