In Your Opinion: Decision on Schools Superintendent Was Rushed

Franklin-school-board-officeBy Bill Connell, Somerset.

I was at the meetings where the Super’s contract was discussed.  My support of the Super starts at the fact that being a boss is not a popularity contest, but being a politician is. Having this discussion at campaign time is questionable because it confuses the conversation.  The Supers contract is coming up and needs to be discussed but the people driving the bus have more at stake than the Super’s future. My personal feeling that this was rushed was confirmed when after the vote was taken, a few parents came up to me who I know are involved and supportive of the schools. Their heads were spinning because they did not even know a discussion like this was taking place, no less a decision being made.
