So rumor has it this board is going to do the same thing with the superintendent as the last board. No local candidate in the final two interviews and not looking to have the person move here. So you ran on brining in someone who wanted to be a part of the community and now have reversed course? I guess the saying is true…if you don’t learn from the past you are destined to repeat it. So that means hire a new person, have them stay 2.5 years, mess up even more stuff, no desire to be a part of the community that pays their salary and then gone or retired.
