Ever wonder what your school administrators do when they're not dodging your emails? Our Memorial Day special takes you behind the scenes of the fictional "Council Rock Dysfunctional Avengers" as they celebrate the holiday weekend with all the incompetence you've come to expect Monday through Friday.

Meet Andy the superintendent, hosting a "strategic cookout planning retreat" where the only thing getting properly grilled is parents who dare ask questions. Watch Al, the director of secondary education, perfecting the art of looking busy with empty clipboards and meaningless doodles. Witness board members divided into opposing camps—"Can't Pretend Transparency" and "Can't Passive Aggressive"—where they practice faking concern while enjoying charcuterie boards funded by your tax dollars.

The satirical journey continues through what we call the "District Dysfunction Olympics," featuring events like Competitive Buzzword Bingo (stuffing terms like "instructional coherence" into conversations about potholes) and Synchronized Excuse-Making (blaming "unexpected complexities" for blatant failures). We expose a board culture where members won't share potato salad because of minor disagreements and administrators lecture PTO moms about "data-informed cafeteria experiences" while their own children fight geese.

Meanwhile, across Newtown, Richborough, Ivyland, Churchville, and Holland, families enjoying their holiday weekend can't help wondering: Why does my kid's school smell like despair? Why is the lunch menu more mysterious than an M. Night Shyamalan movie? Why is our superintendent tweeting inspirational quotes while the science classroom roof leaks?

This episode serves as the Ghost of Accountability Past, haunting educational leaders who've forgotten their purpose. Because when it comes to serving students, our administrators who have done enough damage Monday through Friday—deserve no holiday from our scrutiny.
