Controversy Surrounds Mineola Superintendent
Hundreds of Mineola parents and students are calling for the resignation of Superintendent Michael Nagler due to issues with an educational video program.
The program, called Build Your Own Grade (BYOG), was created by Nagler and his son James, and was operated under their company Quave. It required eighth-graders to learn primarily through videos and online tasks on iPads in their English, math, science, and social studies classes.
- The program was terminated on October 10 following significant backlash from the community.
- A petition against the program garnered over 600 signatures, with students and parents citing difficulties, stress, and ineffectiveness in learning.
- Teachers were reportedly barred from directly answering most student questions, exacerbating the issues.
The BYOG program sparked heavy backlash from the community, leading to its termination.
