New information from Mark Hebert this morning on his blog On the Mark.
Summary:
Erwin's the choice...contract is in the mail.
There is an error on her resume [as reported here]. "Erwin told [Hebert] by phone that listing her as 1998 Superintendent of the Year was probably a mistake and not an embellishment. Ky. Board Chairman Keith Travis says the board will look at any possible discrepancies in Erwin's resume before voting on her hiring. Board member Doug Hubbard says the mistake "is a big deal" and he blames the search firm for failing to do a better job digging into the backgrounds of the three finalists for the job."
After talking with several folks in three of her fromer districts, Hebert writes "Kentucky will either love or hate Barbara Erwin. Everyone describes her as hard working, innovative, extremely bright and able to connect with parents. They also describe her as divisive, vindictive and a micromanager with poor people skills. "
"Travis says he's happy with the nominees and heard no rumblings about reopening the search process. Hubbard says the board's search committee did the best job possible with less than stellar work by the search firm.
Lastly, Governor Fletcher, Robbie Rudolph and Education Secretary Laura Owens flew to Bowling Green to meet with the three finalists for the education commissioners job. They were there when the state board was interviewing the candidates, but did not sit in on the board's interviews. According to Travis and Hubbard, the governor welcomed the three candidates and talked with them individually. Fletcher did not meddle in the search process or try to convince board members that one candidate was better than another, according to the board members.
Thanks for the excellent work, Mark.
