I thought he was going to refer to squabbles over facilities, but he went a different direction. He opined that the county was "famous for its racial intolerance."<BR/><BR/>I hadn't heard this before, but if it's true to any significant degree, the next superintendent could have significant bridge building to do.<BR/><BR/>We'll find out in a couple of hours.<BR/><BR/>RichardRichard Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14586435007687942849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5776587.post-84981297358924627002009-04-13T12:39:00.000-04:002009-04-13T12:39:00.000-04:00When the last superintendent was chosen, many dist...When the last superintendent was chosen, many district employees questioned the choice and openly opposed the selection. The majority of complaints revolved around a lack of local knowledge of the school district, and personality. As friction between within the board began to manifest, some within the district, wondered if this was a short-term transitional Superintendent. Additionally, the district web page has been absent of Superintendent contact information since the previous gentleman, Bob Lee, retired. Over the past two years the School Board and Superintendent did not have a positive relationship, and this was frequently played out during board meetings. Hopefully the new choice will be able to work with the school board and develop a positive Vision for Clark Co BoE.BF Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01975057923063500572noreply@blogger.com
