Baltimore Sun: Text of statement from Brian D. Morris

Baltimore Sun: Text of statement from Brian D. Morris

3:37 PM EDT, June 13, 2009

This morning I notified Dr. Alonso that I have rescinded my acceptance of the position of Deputy CEO for Operations. I encouraged him to do a thorough search and identify another highly qualified person to perform this important role. I have spent six years working to improve the integrity and quality of the school system for our children and I believe we have taken great strides toward achieving that goal.

It disturbs me greatly that this matter has become a distraction to the public's appreciation for the enormous progress our school system has made under my tenure. I am very proud of my service on behalf of Baltimore's children, and I feel a sense of pride knowing how far we have come over the last six years. I will continue to be an advocate for our children as my record of service indicates. I look forward to determining the ways in which I can continue to serve the youth of this city.

I have been happy to provide the weekly 30-40 hours of volunteer service I invested over long periods of time. But while the price for progress was high; the advances being made by our children in the Baltimore City Schools is real, sustained and escalating. It is my hope that the public will appreciate that fact.

There is no more important work than the adults of this community loving, nurturing and preparing the youth of this community to be productive citizens of the world. The success of our children depends on the system being able to attract talented and committed people to continue the system's progress and it is my sincere hope that this continues to happen.

As a dedicated father who lives everyday to help my children reach their potential, I wish the system nothing but the best in delivering on its promise to our children.
