Willful Incompetence: Chaos Unified School District (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798313706054)

What happens when no one in charge knows what they're doing... and no one is willing to admit it?

At Chaos Unified School District, everything looks polished from the outside. Mission statements shine, awards line the walls, and leadership speaks fluently in the language of "vision" and "alignment." But beneath the surface, the system is quietly unraveling.

Alexis Reynolds has spent six years watching it happen.

Broken buses strand students on the side of the road. Classrooms hit ninety degrees while repair requests vanish into the void. Millions of dollars are spent on initiatives no one asked for, while teachers buy their own supplies just to get through the week. And every failure is met not with solutions, but with another meeting, another slogan, another carefully worded email explaining why everything is actually fine.

When Alexis begins documenting what's really happening, she uncovers something far worse than incompetence. A system that rewards image over impact. Leadership that protects itself at all costs. And a truth no one inside the building is supposed to say out loud.

Sharp, darkly funny, and uncomfortably familiar, Willful Incompetence: Chaos Unified School District is a satirical look at what happens when institutions forget who they're meant to serve-and the quiet rebellion of one person who refuses to look away.
