Also, beware of nepotism; as other posters have mentioned here, he'll probably attempt to "make up" a position for his wife.<br />Funny, you guys aren't paying him much more than we did, and he is running your whole state (looks like we were paying him WAY too much)...<br />Enjoy,he is all yours.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5776587.post-38851188297691367862009-07-25T00:09:56.005-04:002009-07-25T00:09:56.005-04:00Wow!

He became famous in Iredell-Statesville for terminating teachers via messages on their answering machines on late Friday evenings, promoting everyone who agreed with him, turnin his head and ear from parents of EC students who had complaints, spending thousands of taxpayer dollars to send administrators to Baldrige workshops in other states, while denying teacher any and all funds for professional development--unless it was Baldrige. Unfortunately, data can be made to "mean" anything, and in this case, all the data you get from this system has its own meanings. Do some research as to why he lasted only a short time in Transylvania County...it wasn't his choice to leave voluntarily. He duped and swindled his way through Iredell Schools during his seven year stay. Only after an outpouring of anger and support against him and his dictatorial management style did he begin applying for positions elsewhere. His leadership changed nothing here--the teachers he belittled did that. Unfortunately, the damage he and his wife did will take years to repair. <br /><br />Be glad Kentucky is a "teacher union" state. You'll need that to keep him in check.<br /><br />Thank you for hiring this husband and wife duo away from you.
